It's an honest shame you can't have the textures, et. al. turned up higher on the main box Twiz - the graphics do certainly make the game more interesting

I do admit - I run the slave boxes on the lowest setting as I'm just basically making sure they are still there (plus, I don't have to slurge on the $xxx hardware to keep those boxes running) - but the main box is where the money is and I have it cranked up till smoke starts to pour out of it

Not sure if it will help you much Twiz - but this tweak guide is what I personally use and has some good advice in it to speed things up a bit

Victor - in Aust all the inet plans are basically capped - more money you spend, the higher the cap and/or the connection speeds - some caps just throttle the speeds back when they are blown, others charge a massive premium for each meg over so it pays to shop around a bit
