Keeps downloading content every time I join

[SilentGamer]

Hi, I've been playing the FL severs for a while now and I think they are fantastic but every time I join I have to download hundreds of files, taking up to 5-10 minutes. I've downlaoded the content pack from this website and extracted it via WinRAR, it asked me to replace files and I replaced everything but it still downloads hundreds of files.

This really takes up a lot of time and lags my internet majorly, I would appreciate some help with this issue.

I should probably also mention that I don't have the Half-Life games so I see pink and black square textures normally but I'm used to that.

Thanks

Well you either put the files in the wrong place or I cannot help ya.
Then again... I am usually no help.

Tell me where you extracted the files?

I extracted the files (not the entire folder, which was called garrysmod, instead i extracted the three individual folders: sound, materials and models or something) into:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\SilentGamer\garrysmod\garrysmod

If it doesnt work with the gmod/gmod folder put it into addons sometimes it works correctly afterwards (found it out when accidentally cleared the folder except addons)

[SilentGamer]

None of that worked...

oh the pink and black squares do you have CSS if not then you need to get it if yes then reinstall gmod so it automounts it

CSS being source games like half life etc.? no i don't. if i get them do i need to reinstall gmod?

no once you download CSS just CSS the base HL2 things you need are built in it will mount it and voila bye bye pink and black textures.
