The server only has one IP, and that's the public one. I tried starting it
without +ip as well, but the same error occurred.

Everytime I start our server it always says:

they are downloaded to the client from the server.

Currently i'm running multiple TF2 servers each from their own installation
directory and have heard of people symlink'ing all the additional servers to
one installation folder. This would probably clean up data along with making

You could share the source shared content as a single symlink point.
Getting any deeper into sharing content may get tricky, but its
possible.
For instance, you set up something like /home/serverfiles/hl2
You could then symlink that in your server's directory..

Another tidbit: I think most of the games now support BZIP

Even if they now upload the stats asynchronously the mapchange takes a
