This makes me happy.  jitspoe was given a ton of grief and criticism when he discussed his faster download implementation ideas on the quakesrc forum (that forum is home to practically all coders working on the GPL'd Quake engines).  It looks like this is turning out to be a huge success and is an accomplishment that we should feel proud of, as a community.
wow, why would they give him grief over it? i mean, who wouldn't want faster downloads?

I know exactly what XBain is talking about, "they" wanted him to give in, and use HTTP protocol, which would have prevented most of you behind a proxy from playing paintball 2.  Jitspoe took a tongue lashing from a lot the anti-UDP guys, but as far as I know has yet to rub in my 500k/s download rates in their faces.

Did you remember to extract the pretest archive onto an existing build 19 installation?

i wish i knew more about why it would even matter ... :/
i mean, yes i've heard of udp, but ... nevermind, i'll read wikipedia. :)

edit: so now i know.
so what would happen to a download if the map data somehow got messed with between client and server?

my quick solution... go into your paintball2 folder and pull out the textures, maps, config, etc folders you need onto desktop... then delete the paintball2 folders.... after install a fresh new version of build20... then put those folders you pulled to desktop back into the paintball2 et voila!

btw, the 600kb/s download speed... awesome :) too bad it only works with build 20 servers. i connected to a build 19 server and didn't see the download speed indicator... oops :P

It runs a MD5 checksum, and if it fails, re-downloads the file.

KoreMagna: You shouldn't need to do any of that.  If a stock file gets corrupted (which shouldn't happen), you can just install over your existing install.  It won't overwrite downloaded maps or your config.

You're not supposed to use those anyway.  They're there as samples.  If you follow the tutorial for setting up a server, it suggests you copy the config file to "myserver.cfg".

I have no idea what "pthreadVC.dll" is but I'm guessing a fix is:

- Search on web for the file,  pthreadVC.dll

- Download to your windows system folder, possibly C:\Windows\system32\ or C:\Windows\system\

- Don't spaz when no one answers you within a precise 5min period
