OHMY CTF

If you have download problems post here. We have had intermittent issues with downloading not working on the redirect over the years, I have done some research that showed that ISPs try to prevent malware by blocking zip files from being downloaded. Our IWD files are zip files, just renamed for the game.

When you have a download fail from the redirect, it falls back to 10k on the server, which is slow as shit and nobody waits for that. This leads to files that have the name of the iwd file with some garbage letters/numbers attached to it, since it is incomplete. If you have one of those for the file that you are trying to download, it might suck up your new attempt and makes it go at the slow speed. So throw away any files that are not completed in sending.

I had a thought that might be worth a try. Open the ohmyctf.com website, if I were an ISP, I would check to see if you have been to the ip of the redirect before you tried downloading, so if you go to the ohmyctf.com website, it might get the isp to think you are doing legit stuff.

I changed a setting to allow for disconnected downloads, so that might or might not make an effect on download success. If you have successfully downloaded, reply. If not, reply.

I asked AI about this and it said this:

Ensure the console variables cl_allowdownload and cl_wwwdownload are enabled in your game's console, as some modded servers require this for automatic downloads.

These settings are in your config_mp.cfg file, inside the folder with your game name, n main. At least non0steam, IIRC.

Note that I have seen occasionaldownload problems in the log over the last year, this is not a new situation. Since I turned on download disonnected, the log will no longer reflect the status of individual download failures.
