Grab Game Files from local patch + Ftp?

[cengroba]

Hey guys,

 

I was just wondering if its possible to have some of the bigger game files, COD, COD2, etc stored locally (for quicker installs) and have the smaller games stored on ftp servers?

 

If i place some of the game files in c:\gamefiles and have the others stored on ftp will tcadmin automatically detect this and install from the correct place or is it one or the other?

COD only takes about 1.5 minutes to install from ftp for me. It took 5 when I had it installing from a local hard drive. =\

Well the problem is that the ftp is not local, its at a remote site. So transferring 2.0gb over the internet is no fun! lol

I guess not. And it eats up your bandwidth if you get a lot of sign ups.

If you check the "Save a local copy of game files" on the remote server setup it will grab them from the remote server if they exist.

 

Of course that means that ever game will have a local copy saved opnce the initial download from the Master server occurs.

ok thanks. I guess I'm just going to have to place another ftp server over there
