Print this. While in the game itself, press the tilde key (~). In the box that pops up type the word "preferences" in the bottom command line area and hit enter. The screen will flash and a new menu screen will appear. Click the + next to "Advanced" and then click the + next to "File System". Now set the PurgeCacheDays from whatever it is currently up to 9999. Now close everything and you should not have to download the maps again for 27.39 years exactly! Let us know how it goes. Peace

Also, every 30 days, your cache purges itself. you can change this by:
1. Start UT
2. Hit the button that brings up the console. Usually this is the tilde (~) button above the Tab key.
3. When the console is displayed, type "preferences" without the quotes.
4. Expand the Advanced and File System section by hitting the +
5. You should see this:

Notice that the purge cache days here is 9999. That means that it will be many years before your cache files will be purged. Change yours to 9999 and that should help you out.

EDIT.
Opps, Herm beat me to the punch. But does you calculations include leap years, Herm :lol:

I use Trillian, it lets me log into msn, aim, icq, irc and yahoo all at once with only one program and supports mulitiple accounts

You just go through the setup and create new accounts. If you already have one of the above programs installed, it even keeps you buddy lists and settings. And has NO ADWARE at all.

Can be downloaded free at www.downloads.com
Here is the link: http://download.com.com/3000-2150-10148 ... ag=lst-0-1

If space on your hard drive is an issue, then I'd suggest a cache purge rate of 99 days. This way you don't get stuck with maps and skins that you don't need any more if the server changes them, or you stop playing there. :wink:

With most of the redeemer servers on fast downloads now, I set my purge rate to 99 days regardless of space considerations. As it takes almost no time at all do d/l what you need, once every three months isn't so bad, and you don't have a lot of dross on your hard drive. :)

Sorry I wasn't too clear back there, I do have msn, and yahoo. but have never used or seen aim.

Hdd will never be a problem, 8) .

I was on a very fast connection at uni so downloading the file (33%)
wasn't a problem at all, but now I'm on a crummy 56k for the next 3 weeks, so I don't wanna spend time downloading them again.

And for some reason I hate AOL.

Ps when I move to my new place Ill be gettin a 2kb connection so I may setup a server, Iv got a spare computer that will take it.
it will just be a side line if ya get what I mean.
