Did you change the mime types to octet stream on the web server?

Actually there is a known bug in the HL1 client fast download where if
you
retry or connect from game console it won't go to the web server but will
instead download only direct from the server itself.
You can verify this easily by deleting the bsp your server is currently
running, then connect via steam server browser and look at the
download time
(a minute or 2 typically from a web server) then cancel the download,
go to
console and enter "retry". The download time will suddenly be 4 or 5 or
more minutes.
This can also be verified in the server console. For HL1 clients, a
client
will connect, then disconnect and do the download of the file(s), then
reconnect to the server.
When you do the direct connect or retry, the client will connect and stay
connected to the server during the entire download.

4. clients must connect from steam directly (not via "connect
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" in console) for the fast d/l to work (connected +
changelevel is ok too).
You can connect like you want, the fast download will work in both ways.
The clients need to have Internet Explorer installed, otherwise the fast
download will not work.
