Our GSP provides a central web server for its customers to use as their sv_downloadurl.
I'm not any one host could provide enough bandwidth to cope with having one global resource. But from their perspective it is a good sales tool for attracting new customers, particularly with Source servers given the increase in map sizes, especially with maps say ported from CS:S to run on DoD:S running at up to 130MB in size, couple fast downloads with bzip2 on the fly decompression and it makes maps like this viable. The other issue specific to DoD:S is as it was only released with 4 maps and to date still has only four official maps, most server admins have added some custom maps so the demand is even higher for a webserved repository for these files.

A standard place to set the cvar? Or a standard place to set the value of the cvar? Set it in the autoexec.cfg file. For the latter, set the value to any valid url you want to put your cache on. There is no one out there providing *the one* authoritative place to get maps from though.
Yeah I meant an authoritative place to get maps from. Hmmm... do you reckon a project like this (if executed correctly) would be successful? -- Ben www.benkennish.co.uk _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
