Manual Download

Normally you will want to obtain the latest downloads from https://altv.mp/#/downloads which has a nice interface that will assist you with downloading the binaries you need.

CDN stands for content delivery network. It's just a fancy way to say a web host that is entirely dedicated to letting you download files from it. It has really high download speeds and can handle huge amounts of traffic.

You can grab the exact files you need from https://wiki.altv.mp/wiki/Scripting:CDN_Links.
