Do you have any filters set that could be blocking you from seeing it? Have you asked to see if anyone else can see it in the master list?

The location shouldn't prevent you from connecting, no.

When you try to connect directly, what error do you receive?

The Steam network does that sometimes, but you should still be able to connect directly without using the list. Have you tried connecting that way?

I am assuming you are running a mod or custom maps? If so you will need to run a websync and sync the files to our fastDL server or the transfer rate will be capped at something like that.

Where are you turning them on? Make sure to do it on the command line through the "Server control" page.

The downloads through the game will be slow, as kraze said. That's just how the game was designed. Websync will fix this.

Go to the websync tab in your control panel and click on "Sync files now".
