What are you redowloading? Quake sounds and other tweak shit? Or more such as officials maps? Version or the game you've installed? If 1.1h, did you installed 1.0? Any screenshots? If it's only the tweak shits, try
--- Code: ---
cl_downloadfilter none
--- End code ---
(in SourceMods\gesbeta1_1\cfg\config.cfg), to see if theres any change.

TooCrooked:
its primarily "quake" sounds and "admin" something or other. why is this junk redownloading? i play from europe so it severely ruins the experience when you get to play the last 3 minutes of every map

Doc.NO:
Thats tweak sounds/materials the server use. Usually, it takes less than 10 secondes to d/l them with a broadband connection. And it's downloaded only once. Do you download both .mp3 and .mp3.bz2 version of the sounds? Does it happen on EVERY servers? Or only with some of them? Version of your game (beta 1.0 or 1.1x)?
You can also just put
--- Quote ---cl_downloadfilter none

at the end of your config.cfg, but you'll miss all the custom material the servers use.

nowhere:
Just put

Then you only don't download the sound files but can still download maps. Personally I hate all those sound files, especially if they aren't even in use by the server which happens so damn often.
