Kinda besides the point of this discussion but I've been always curios why the big difference in size between the content downloaded by the linux updated tool compared to the windows one when downloading cstrike. I mean it's not big, but noticeable. The linux one is around 670 mb and the win ~320. The number of files downloaded by the linux update tool is almost 5000 against the ~1700 by the windows one. I did some comparison and noticed that the difference comes mostly from the extra maps and sounds the linux version downloads. It downloads all the resources that one would need for playing half life, including the single player mission maps (the ones starting with c...) and all the sounds needed for those missions. Maybe I'm missing something but it looks to me as a waste of bandwidth to download that extra content that a cstrike server (probably even a half life server) doesn't need for it to run properly. I don't think it affects performance or anything else, it is just that I find it strange. As I said, just curios :).
