Or even somewhere where they are all listed on one page with direct links
rather than having to click through 3 links.

ftp://65.30.181.223/quake2/ - that's where various NG regs and semi-regs
have uploaded masses of Q2 stuff

Thanks Bill. I didnt look in higher directories when Grieve gave me that
link. That should give me all I want.

A plate of spoo? Ewwwww...

Remember when there were hundreds of posts here a day? And all the
arguments? I'd leave because of the arguements... Now it seems mostly spam
stuff... SIGH...

You still on the Q2ML? I don't see you posting there anymore...

Ah well, nice to see you again! And I d/l'd a bunch of stuff from that ftp
site... Most of my Q2 stuff is on a zip disk and I have to install the darn
drive into my computer (it's sitting there looking forlorn wondering when
I'll get to it)...

Yeah, you're right. I mean, I used to get 26-48 fps in 800x600 and was
happy to get a sub 400 ping in *any* server on dialup. Now, I only get
267 fps in 1280x1024 and 20 ping. I am getting old, need all the help I
can get!
