Counterstrike server downloads

Hi,

Does anyone know how i stop servers from downloading all the crappy music files to my pc when connecting?

Try sticking this in console:
cl_downloadfilter "nosounds"

Didn't work. I'm basically trying to stop mp3s taking ages to download before joining a server. Also, is there a way to tell if a server is running bots before joining?

Thanks.

Have you tried putting exactly what Davey said but into an autoexec.cfg file?
I've found that works for me

I typed it in the console window and set the value rather than the config. The value stays the same between sessions though as I would expect.

Stick it in your autoexec.cfg, see if that helps.
