****IF  U WANT ADD OTHER MAPS and Media Follow the steps below****

If you Dont find anyof above urls reliable or wanted to add other maps to cstrike/map folder than you have make an aacount in some free file storing serice on net

The best service so far i have found is www.funpic.org  , so just register an account there and upload your whole cstrike folder there ...

Explaination:

When u add custom sounds,maps & skins, players have to download it before connecting to your server.The HLDS ( Half-Life Dedicated server ) is designed not to transfer files more than 8kB/s.Hence it takes lot of time for players to download.
As a result you will lose players.using this sv_downloadurl , clients will download all files at their maximum download speed possible not a 8kB/s

Procedure:

1) First of all, you need a webhosting. All free webhosting will not work and are difficult to find but funpic.org worth experimenting .
2) When you make a account at webhosting,you will get a sub-domain like 1234.funpic.org, where 1234 is your username & funpic.org is that webhosting provider.
3) Make a folder 'cstrike' on webhosting using webFTP or with Filezilla and make sub-folders maps,sound,models too
  So URL of your folders will be this
  http://1234.funpic.org/cstrike/maps
  http://1234.funpic.org/cstrike/sound
  http://1234.funpic.org/cstrike/models
4) Put your custom things in appropriate folders on webhosting  
5) Now open your cstrike\server.cfg of your server
  add these lines and remove if they already exist
  sv_allowdownload 1
  sv_allowupload 1
  sv_downloadurl "http://1234.funpic.org/cstrike/"
   
  Change sv_downloadurl value to your webhosting's URL and dont forget that /cstrike/ at the end. Restart server & enjoy  !
