Fastdownload
What is Fastdownload?
The rate of direct downloads for Gameserver n with the HL1 and HL2 engine + CSGO is limited, so that the gameserver is not affected by the downloads.
Since in the HL2 engine + CSGO can occur very large volumes of data, Valve had the Fastdownload introduced. The download of the " 'Custom files" is redirected to the CKRAS Fastdownload webserver. This redirection is defined only by a console variable that we have already installed as a service in the server.cfg'. Since the HL2 engine is also the 'Bzip2 compression support, the advantage of bzip2 is that the maps can be highly compressed here is what the space minimized.
Fastdownload for all CKRAS Customers
CKRAS provides all customers the fast download servers for the games Counter Strike 1.6, CounterStrike_Source and CS:GO 'free' available here are all common ESL, from the current map pool of CKRAS still own. (Note that in CS:GO can be installed with all the maps Workshop) If again expect a map missing, but just contact us. Thank you!
As a customer of CKRAS the paths and URLs must not be inserted separately in the server.cfg or in a different config, as we define these variables already as default. What this means for you as CKRAS Gameserver customer that nothing has to be done separately, so that our Fastdownload service can be used.
