I just recently started up a new server and I've added in a custom map, WestLondonNight_v5 specifically. Now the map works, but if anyone on the server doesn't have the map already installed the download for them the download is incredibly slow. I've read enough to know that this is because I'm not using the compressed version of WestLondonNight_v5.rom so I've gone ahead and created it and now I have my WestLondonNight_v5.rom.uz2 file but what do I do now? How do I set up my config file and where do I put this newly created compressed map file so that when people try to download this map it does not take 15 years?

You need to setup a redirect on a webhost for the uz2 files, it needs to be publicly accessible via http, there's a sticky in this forum

I did see this sticky, and have followed the directions properly. My download still takes forever for users when they join my server. It's a Gameservers.com server if this changes anything, and the webhost I tried wass 000webhost.com. I just don't know what to try next.
