The updates I'm using on the demon server are:

halflife1110update.exe

csv15full.exe

Google for them to find a fast server to dl from as fileplanet is pretty 
impossible.
Demon's ftp is sadly out of date (I'm not sure what ver their servers 
are actually running but the above patches seem to work).

The server list dl'ed quite quick on ADSL 5mins I think. Though 
otherwise I'd advise gamespy. (though not the new versions, they look 
are operate terribly - anyone know if the old ones still work?)
I think I added the Demon server addresses manually somehow, in a .cfg 
file . . but I can't find the correct file to put them in at all ATM 
does anyone know . . as I have to set up a friends PC with the demon 
servers and it would save typing them all in in CS.

cheers
