how do i make downloadable files download fast for people that join the server?

tickrate - bullshit
Without download server it dls from game server with maximum bandwitch allowed for each player or less if your internet/his internet lags.
it's better to use download server, the speed will be set as maximum of http server of client DL speed.
It's prefered to use bzip2 (not winzip, not zip, not rar, etc.) for making files take less space.
I attached bzip2 i'm using. Instructions:
open command line, go directory where your bzip2 is, put files anywhere u want and write: bzip2 -v c:\bla\*.*  to bzip2 all the files in directory u type. the dir adress can be not full for example bzip2 -v bla\*.* if this dir in the directory of bzip2.
P.S. Enable http server in server.cfg also.

Yeah, stinkyfax is right.
But if you have two servers, you are rich!!
If you dont, tickrate is important.
But the best way is a downloadable zip on your server.

Yeah, but on the same computer, it might lag...
Is WC3 Holliday a dedicated server?

Make a zip downloadable on your website!

Stinky, you probably already know this but Ill just pass it along to other people.  After you download bzip2.exe, just put it on your desktop.  When you find the files you want to put on your web server, put them into a new folder.  After all files are in that folder, place bzip2.exe into that folder also.  Then select between 5-8 files and drag them over bzip2.exe and drop them.  There is no settings to mess with it automatically converts them.  Then just upload those files to your web server.  Just remember when putting files onto your web server, FOLLOW THE PATH EXACTLY!  I don't know how many times I have messed up by just missing one letter.  Also, when your path is eg..  cstrike/models/player   don't use cstrike\models\player.  It will not work.  I know from adding models to be downloaded that when the path is wrong it will all be wrong.  If you need any help setting up fast downloads, look me up.  I will see what I can do.  I am currently running a wcs/zm server with models on almost all of them.

me2 but i hate installing them, it takes rly much time.
