Map/Content Hosting

Download Core is a service provided exclusively to INX-Gaming customers. Download Core enables high-speed file downloads (maps, sounds, etc.) for gamers when they are connecting to a gameserver. When downloading a custom map, gamers are often left waiting for several minutes for the map to slowly download off of the gameserver before they can get fragging. Not anymore! With Download Core enabled on your gameserver, files (be it maps or sounds) are downloaded at lightning fast speeds from high-speed content servers on the INX-Network. Download Core utilises the power of sv_downloadurl, which is a part of the gameserver that allows file downloads from a server other than the one running the game.

Currently the Download Core supports the following games:

  • Counterstrike Condition Zero
  • Counter-Strike: 1.6
  • Countestrike Source
  • Day of Defeat
  • Day of Defeat Source
  • Team Fortress Classic
  • Half Life Deathmatch
  • Half-Life 2: Capture The Flag
  • Fortress Forever

Download Core has, however, become such a success that it has outgrown itself. We are looking to rectify this by releasing a brand-new version in Summer 2009 sporting tons of new world-first features!
