I don't know which is the problem, but it easy to observe that the
Steam
client works perfectly with little delay and fast download speed
while
hldsupdatetool on windows and linux takes ages to start downloading
even
small updates.
I think this is because it validates the entire game on every update
(at least on my server, the updatetool goes HD read berserk, which makes
it more or less impossible for me to run updates while the servers are
running, without causing severe lag)
It would be nicer if the system were a little bit more intelligent, and
maybe trusted the server when it said "I have version X", and then only
served the files relevant for that.
If you had done something bad, specifying a -verify_all could result in
a all-folder scan, locating files that are different from the current
running version.
