We use www.dot5hosting.com if you are just going to host files they have a great price. With them for almost a year now and no big issues. Something like $4.95 a month I think

Does anyone know of a host thats been really good with this type of hosting, or are there any mods/plugins/cvars that can be changed to boost the speed with which clients are able to download/unpack map files. Ive found that generally a server running lots of custom maps has a tolerance time of roughly 5 - 7 minutes for the average player before they will disconnect and not bother downloading. Another thing that I think would help immensely would be to list the speed and percentage of the download complete, the bars really aren't enough of an indicator, though this would be something valve would have to patch in.
