How do you obtain fast map download?

[Frogert]

Hey i was wondering what would be required to allow players to download maps quickly on a server I'm planning to purchase.

You would just need web space to do this and then we can walk you through setting this up on your server.

As mentioned, first thing you need to do is make sure you have web space available.

You have the option to compress the maps and other files to further speed up the downloads. Compression can only be done via bzip (freeware)... though I highly recommend using a 3rd party tool that automates the entire process. It's basically a script that creates the fast dl directory structure for you and compresses it all on its own.

The tool is called Source RSC and can be downloaded at

cant post links, but you can reach the website by googling " brainless source rsc " and navigating to the download section of the first result.

Run the exe, it will create an ini file, edit the ini, run again. Post here if you run into any problems.

Alright when i get my server running I'll try this and if i have any problems I'll post them here, thanks.

lol i just ran across this thread and decided to help new people and post the link to the utility. I googled the terms I listed above, and oddly enough, this thread is now the first result displayed.

Anyway, check the cs:s fast map download program at: Brainless Downloads

You must get your own webspace database and have them download the files from there.

Is the Souce RSC still working as we tried nearly everything and can't get it to connect to the server in 'phase 2' ?
Since the last post on it in the Brainless forums was quite a while ago, we thought it may have been rendered inop from an update of something.
