The problem with ban lists like this is that sooner or later it will be
abused. Not all server admins are honest and ethical. So, I'm playing today,
and this kid keeps beating me. He/she isn't cheating, they are just better
then me. Since I run a server too, I'll just add this person to the global
When I change to BADTASTE2, I get this error. I have replaced the file
fire.spr with a very small and known good sprite, so the problem most

The crap will really hit the fan when HL2 comes out and we pay an arm and a
P2P is our friend. Put major modules on Bittorrent. Hell, I'll shut off my
server for a week just to run Bittorrent to get and distrubute HL2 content.

You do realize that they increased their bandwith to 8Gb/s for the CS:S
pre-load and only used one half of that. When Hl2 release approaches the
plan is to increase it another 4Gb/s.
Yeah - but it probalby won't be enough. In all fairness to Valve (wow, that
