I just downloaded Digital Paint, eagerly awaiting hours upon hours of fun. The problem is that it runs terrible on my computer. I have a DSL connection, and I have continually lowered my rate, but it doesnt help at all. It lags terribly. This would be more understandable to me if other games I had ran just as bad, but I have Wolfenstein and a few others, and I have no problems running them online. If anyone could offer suggestions as to what I can do, it would be much appreciated.

Where are you located? You might just have a poor connection to the servers. Is it network lag, or is it a low framerate?
To check the network connection, type "set netgraph 1" at the console -- it will show a graph down on the hud.

I'm in Wisconsin. I know people that live near me that dont have these problems with the game though. I think it is a bad network connection, because even when I'm downloading the maps it takes a very long time. I typed "set netgraph 1" and the graph at the bottom was almost solid white except for a couple dips at the top of it.

<Begin non-technical reply>
Paintball is an especially bandwidth-intensive mod, but it still manages to compare with Q2DM, Halflife, or frankly any other multiplayer first-person shooter. If those games work without choppiness, Paintball should also.

I dunno -- you might try googling around for some help with quake2 network settings...

Build 28 is now released, find it in the forums. It may help.
