Have you setup redirection?

As you have a pretty good connection you could set up a little http server on your computer and redirect to it. Make sure to forward the specific ports (usually 80 HTTP or 443 HTTPS) to your machine.

The other way, using a provider hosted service like Dropbox, works as well. You have to add all (mutators, models, maps etc.) the files there and redirect to it.

Side note: Compressing the files isn't necessary, just upload them and you're good to go. Just make sure you configure your redirect properly (UseCompression=False) and all files up there are exactly the same like those on your kf-server.

Yes FluX i have that and i have all my maps there i even uploaded some of the mutators but the problem i have is with the weapons. like moss12 shotgun if someone joins and wants to download it it will download
moss12nd
i looked up for that name in my whole KF folder i couldnt even find it therefor i uploaded the mutator to dropbox but same thing slow download
my dropbox works fine my maps there and downloads fast but the weapons
i wanted once to add Executioner mutator to my server once but i had the same problem so all the weapons i just cant find a way to make them fast dl.

I wouldn't recommend hosting your own HTTP server unless you knew what you was doing and all the possible problems you may come across (like not being able to use your own redirection due to IP mirroring - where you can't see your own WAN IP inside your LAN. I had this before and was forced out of it so I could play at all on my servers).

Another option I will check is maybe check the file names. Make sure the redirected file is the same as the standard, even with capital letters.

Hi, I am also having the same issue with clients downloading custom weapons (Moss12 and Hunting Rifle) and I was wondering if either of you has found a solution?

I've set my redirect option to http://localhost/games/kf/compressed/
and (UseCompression=True)
But I'm not sure how to compress the weapon mutators since they have mutliple files in multiple directories, unlike maps where it's just a .rom file.

And I apologize for asking another question rather than helping OP, but perhaps figuring out how to compress the weapon mutators can help us both.
