Stopping client pk3 downloads

(Sgt_mac) #1

Hiya all
In an attempt to save on server bandwidth, I have tried to stop downloads of pk3’s from the server.The ftp is not set up correct yet (the files are still zipped) So in the meantime I am trying to stop downloads, and tell clients to disconnect to download, and where to go.

I just tested this by removing a pk3 and my game still started to dl from server.
My configs.(server.cfg)

set sv_maxRate “10000” // 10000 standard but poor for ET
set sv_dl_maxRate “1000” // increase/decerease if you have plenty/little spare bandwidth
set sv_allowDownload “0” // global toggle for both legacy download and web download
set sv_wwwDownload “0” // toggle to enable web download
set sv_wwwBaseURL “” // base URL for redirection
set sv_wwwDlDisconnected “1” // tell clients to perform their downloads while disconnected from the server
set sv_wwwFallbackURL “ftp:///******/” // URL to send to if an http/ftp fails or is refused client side

To be sure I have pasted the same into the etconfig.cfg

Any ideas please?

When you go to set up the server click advanced. The option is on there somewhere.

I am adminning via ftp, I cannot access the server, and it is running dedicated, but thanks anyway for the input.

Well, OK, if you have your own copy of ET, I suggest you set it so that it wont, then set it so that it will in those options and see what it changes in the.cfg file :slight_smile:
