[hlds_linux] Region settings on hldsupdatetool
Hi. I have a problem with my hldsupdatetool (./steam). Whenever I try to update my installations, I have to cross the atlantic to download the files. I live in Denmark, and my server is also located there, so I don't understand why I can't download the files from some European content servers. Is there any method to get around this? My speeds are super-slow, and it takes ages to download small files because of the latency/ping. /Chris ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
Re: [hlds_linux] Region settings on hldsupdatetool
You can do Steam.cfg next to your Steam binary and into that, put this line: PreferredContentServerIDs = 150 97 98 113 114 80 94 Where the numbers are content server numbers from http://store.steampowered.com/stats/content/ -ics 7.2.2011 20:26, Christoffer Pedersen kirjoitti: Hi.

This does not seem to work.

I'm not a unix guru but can't you forward 65.113.241.38 to the Denmark content servers ALA Windows HOSTS file? Hacky, but a fix nonetheless Thanks, - Saul.

The numbers on the web page are not the same. You can see the real numbers somewhere in the Steam client log, but don't ask me where.

Just throwing this out there, it would be great if Valve recognized some of the Standard Country and Area codes defined by the United Nations: http://unstats.un.org/unsd/methods/m49/m49regin.htm I think it would solve a lot of headaches if admins could just put their region codes into their Steam configs and have it automatically use the nearest content servers.

Re: [hlds_linux] Region settings on hldsupdatetool
Ronny, that's because some of the content servers are not within the country they are listed being in. For example content server 150 should be in finland but if nothing has changed since i last checked, it's physically somewhere in netherlands or germany. Propably due to bandwidth being more cheap there than here. -ics 7.2.2011 23:41, David A.

Re: [hlds_linux] Region settings on hldsupdatetool
I also don't think that the danish servers are located in Denmark, as we have some of the most expensive bandwidth in the world. I might then think it would be better, maybe to add the german or netherlands servers as well, as one of my ISP has direct connections to the ams-ix. I have tried to both call it Steam.cfg and steam.cfg but it didn't really seem to work. :( ill check up with its permissions.. /Chris Sendt fra min iPhone 4 Den 07/02/2011 kl. 23.08 skrev ics i...@ics-base.net: Ronny, that's because some of the content servers are not within the country they are listed being in.

Re: [hlds_linux] Region settings on hldsupdatetool
Just after i wrote the previous email, i tried to change the permissions of the Steam.cfg to 777 and this seemed to work. My server now connects to an address of 81.171.115.10 and just to test the speed, i downloaded a garrysmod-server in about 5 minutes. Thanks alot, now i can download the servers again without waiting several years for it to complete. /Chris Sendt fra min iPhone 4 Den 07/02/2011 kl. 23.08 skrev ics i...@ics-base.net: Ronny, that's because some of the content servers are not within the country they are listed being in.

Re: [hlds_linux] Region settings on hldsupdatetool
We in Australia usually have poor download speeds; I assumed it was because we seem to connect to slow servers when an update is released. It's confusing and a bit of a shame because the Steam client updates the game really quick, but game servers can take a half hour. - Andrew -Original Message- From: hlds_linux-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com [mailto:hlds_linux-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com] On Behalf Of Christoffer Pedersen Sent: Tuesday, 8 February 2011 6:00 PM To: Half-Life dedicated Linux server mailing list Subject: Re: [hlds_linux] Region settings on hldsupdatetool Just after i wrote the previous email, i tried to change the permissions of the Steam.cfg to 777 and this seemed to work.
