Which, depending on the file size, can take /forever/ to for everyone to download from the server. Which, some people can deal with some can't.

As I worked on this trying to figure out some problems, solving those problems, I came across the compressing the .bsp to .bzp2 (or whatever the actual extension is). Which, if I understood what I read, if you put both the compressed and uncompressed file on the server, that TF2 should look for the .bzp2 first and parse that out to people needing to download it.

First off, is any part of that a misconception?

Secondly, if it isn't, why did the server download out the .bsp and not the .bzp2?

Thirdly, once that is working, when tf2 dishes out the .bzp2 will people need to manually unzip it? or will tf2 automatically uncompress?

As well i've read about people using...file hosting or some sort of thing to reroute the download from the tf2 server to download from that, and that that is a faster way to download maps. If that is true, a. how does it work? b. does anyone have any website suggestions for that?

Thank you for your time, this has been an enlightening and largely frustrating venture into the tf2 server world. Will appreciate the help.

Thanks,
