Game Host Bros SourceForts Classic servers come with built-in FastDL, so players download custom maps, materials, models and sounds over a fast web connection instead of through the game server. There is nothing to set up: upload your custom content and restart.
How FastDL Works
- Every time your server starts, custom files in
sfclassic/maps,sfclassic/materials,sfclassic/models,sfclassic/soundandsfclassic/particlesare published to FastDL. - The maps and sounds that come with SourceForts Classic are left out, since every player already has them.
- Your server points players at FastDL automatically. To see the address, type
sv_downloadurlin the console.
Using Your Own Download Server
If you already host your files elsewhere, point the server at that address instead.

Your download server needs the same folder layout as the game (maps/, materials/, models/, sound/).
