Map download speed problem

Hi!

Don´t know if this is the right place to ask but I have a problem with users who are trying to download maps and mods from my server.
I have tried to lift up the speed from etserver.cfg file so that users could get stuff faster than 13kb/s-20kb/s. But nothing have worked out... Is there any solution to this problem? Could I put my dropbox link to the url section so that they could download stuff thru there?
I have googled this problem but havent found any solution

System which I use:
Debian
ET 2.60b + nitmod, 2.2 beta 2

And I´m newbie about linux, so if someone has solution to this (maybe some ports which arent open?) could make simple instructions

Thank You for help! And Happy Valentine´s Day

Re: Map download speed problem

Its always going to be slow downloading direct from your server

to speed up the downloads you need to use the redirect options
(sometimes you can trick the server into using the server as a redirect but its not recommended as you open all your configs)

Ohm. This is probably server side issue, N!trox could fix it in your ETFix's project

"set sv_wwwBaseURL" in your server.cfg but refers to your ET root directory?

For extern hosting see her (german):  http://www.netcup.de/hosting

thats the redirect cvar, would normally point to an external hosting site.
you 'can' point it to your server ip, i assume it would be running a webserver as well.

Re: Map download speed problem

Right, Apache or another web server must be running

- create a  virtual host to  /var/www /  e.g.  / var/www/download (use Webmin that makes it easier  www.webmin.com )
- Create symlinks from your mod folder and etmain in /var/www/download
- Eight out that only the "pk3 files" read status public will not get the configs !!!
- Refer to the variable "set sv_wwwBaseURL" on the virtual host

Currently this form of attack is becoming common in all the games and servers based on Quake, such as:

    Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory
    Call of Duty 4
    Call of Duty 2
    Urban Terror
And many other games that are vulnerable to this flaw. What the attacker does is send an information request to the server and it returns something like

Except that this request is performed thousands of times what affect server performance. There are other problems beyond the performance, plus the main performance and ease that one person alone can multiple servers.

Linux Servers: No Linux is easier since you can create iptables rules blocking it. This script created in the forum Wolffiles is quite complete.

http://www.wolffiles.de/index.php?forum-showposts-44-p1

WINDOWS Servers: For Windows the process is more complicated, as there is a firewall in Linux. More on the mailing list icculus.org was released by a user with two DLLs that must be placed in the same folder where the main executable server.

Re: Map download speed problem

The info is not new. The Script V1.5 is out of date,

getstatus_ban V1.7

is the last version. This will be downloaded from my homepage. When a problem with the script please write in the forum of wolffiles.de

note:
Nitrox has the etded.x86 recompiled and fixed the exploit. Unfortunately, without PunkBuster support. Read more here at ETFix.

Does it mean that all files could be directly downloaded from etmain ? Without ftp redirect ?

Re: Map download speed problem

It is very important here the exact assignment of file rights!

Yes. Please use additional bandwidth limiter for Apache 2 (mod_bw) to protect your server network connection.

But better to download from an external web space. (prevents lags)
