Q3 version is 1.32b, not 1.32. I tried manualy copying, from official homepage, necessary client files to my home directory but no effect. What's wrong with my setting? Thank you.

Map-center people suggested similar file for windows but I thought they didn't understand my question and never checked aroud the files. I'll try it and report back the result once going back from junior high school.

Why it took so much time to just download small amount of files? (My connection is ideally 1500k, not 56k.) Maybe server was busy.
