This request has been made many times over the years - I can even suggest a management system for client interaction (and others many more good ideas) but its not something Valve seems to be planning for addition anytime soon.   TF2?? Who knows, but i should hope so.   Ad   [Mad Ad] ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, October 01, 2001 7:41 PM Subject: Re: Request for future versions Let me second this request! I run mostly non-valve standard maps, and have quite a few unusual/rare maps cycle through my server. One complaint I get a lot is that it takes too long to download the map, and I loose a lot of players that don't want to wait 15 minutes or more to download the map. I wish I could control the transfer rate so they can download the maps quicker.   ------------------------------------------------------- Welcome to Ooks 1001 Maps Pit of Death! Now running Severians Mod! New map cycle! More bizarre maps for your fragging pleasure! Rules - if it moves, kill it!

Why didn't WE think of that?" That feature would be a GODSEND for Servers that play custom maps!   Fear. ----- Original Message ----- From: Timothy J.

It would be great is you could offload downloads to somewhere else.   Like Unreal Tournament, you put all the files on a web server and tell the game to redirect to http://www.webpage.com/utfiles/ and you get the file quicker and it does not effect the game. Works great for LANs! 2MB map in under 2 seconds!   Wishful thinking...
