All righty, I posted this question to the Steam forums and nobody answered like usual 'cos it got bumped off the front page in about ten minutes.

I use the French version of Steam, which puts all the games in French and creates new subfolders such as tfc_french, sven_french, etc. My problem is that whenever I download custom content, every single mod I have except for TFC downloads all maps/textures/sounds/models twice. On Sven, this is really frickin' annoying since every server has custom content and it'll take two to six minutes just to download all the s**t. It's because it downloads it once to mod_french/maps/etc and once to mod/maps/etc, also creating a lot of retarded bloat (~400mb of duplicate files).

Anyone know what to do? I've tried deleting the pointless duplicates but it just goes right back and downloads them o_o Since my computer wasn't exploding and I didn't go "I R SEKSAY WOMANS GIVE ME CDKEYS!!!1" nobody on the Steam forums helped.

Thanks :\

I'm assuming you have the language set to French in the steam settings. Perhaps you installed the english version first...then switched to french. I'm only assuming as I've never encountered this problem or heard of it before.

I know you've tried there...but your best bet would be the steam forums.
