We in Australia usually have poor download speeds; I assumed it was because we seem to connect to slow servers when an update is released.
It's confusing and a bit of a shame because the Steam client updates the game really quick, but game servers can take a half hour. - Andrew -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Christoffer Pedersen Sent: Tuesday, 8 February 2011 6:00 PM To: Half-Life dedicated Linux server mailing list Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] Region settings on hldsupdatetool Just after i wrote the previous email, i tried to change the permissions of the Steam.cfg to 777 and this seemed to work. My server now connects to an address of 81.171.115.10 and just to test the speed, i downloaded a garrysmod-server in about 5 minutes. Thanks alot, now i can download the servers again without waiting several years for it to complete. /Chris Sendt fra min iPhone 4 Den 07/02/2011 kl. 23.08 skrev ics <[email protected]>: > Ronny, that's because some of the content servers are not within the country they are listed being in. For example content server 150 should be in finland but if nothing has changed since i last checked, it's physically somewhere in netherlands or germany. Propably due to bandwidth being more cheap there than here. > > -ics > > 7.2.2011 23:41, David A.
