I've been trying to get on, but it takes me about 15 minutes to download around 10% of the CB skins, I can't remember if you still have CB games, but whenever I get around 10%-15% downloaded a new game starts and then I need to start the download all over again. Plus UT is doing the same thing to any servers I try to go on that I need to download a large package for. I've been sittimg infront of this damn screen for about 2 hours waiting so help me....

Think there's a way to download them directly from the FTP. Jim might know.

Keep posting duplicate threads, that should get his attention.

No, there is no other way. You just have to wait it out. Start the download and then go to bed and it will be done in the morning.

To see if it's really your internet speed, go to:

Post your results here. I doubt it's really your internet speed.

I find it ammusing that Bean has a better rating, I can only assume it is based mostly on the ping.

For gaming, and basic web surfing, ping is king. I'd still swap ya if I could though.

Not the best ping but it is 1900 miles away :shock: It is one of the fastest servers I can connect to for the test. I can get a ping all the way down to 10 on some servers but the connection speed is nowhere near the 37 mark.
Makes no sense :?
