Voogru and others have already explained how to do this. I don't know why
this thread is still going on with speculation about how to do it.
When a game client downloads a file from an sv_downloadurl, it submits as
the referrer the game server it is connecting to. This is why limiting
access by
And to further answer the question, specifically the rewrite part, for
multiple game servers sharing the same downloadurl, the hl2://0.0.0.0 -
change it to the following example: hl2://(x.x.x.x|y.y.y.y|z.z.z.z) and
there you go.

@ Neonicacid: Can I just say that your solution isn't viable, as you have to
have the same directory structure as the server also, just log onto any

@Phillip: I know that the server files need to be mirrored as to what is
actually on the game server, all I was suggesting was that you place that
mirror in a different place, to break the access that the current leechers
would have.. I meant something to the effect of..
C:\game\tf2\maps\..
IIS users have rather limited options as far as I recall. I'm not sure
how the referrer works. All of the rewrite stuff for IIS is a paid for

But that would rely on your server still doing the downloading, again,
on most free hosts which would probably have a limited connection to
