Changed I made that seem to be working (for anyone else's reference): * Changed my back-end Apache2 web-server config to accept connection without FQDN. * That Apache2 virtual-server used the same content served by the FQDN virtual server. * Changed sv_downloadurl to use the IP address and path (example: " http://w.x.y.z/folder/gameormodhere";). * Connected from a new machine that did not already connect to the server (actually, completely new HL1 install). * Everything seems to be working again! * Downloads are actually FAST again. * I know I lived through the pre-FastDL era but, my God!, that was PAINFUL before! I forgot how much it used to hurt!
