Overview
The fast downloads feature allows you to copy or upload custom game content to a website so they can be downloaded directly by players.
Requirements
You can configure fast downloads in 2 ways:
- Locally. The fast downloads website and game server are located on the same server.
- Remotely. The fast downloads website is located on a different server. You may use a hosting account if your hosting provider allows it.
For security reasons it is recommended that the website used for fast downloads does not have any server side scripting enabled (ASP, ASP.NET, PHP, etc)
Downloads hosted locally
