but if could also be: If you leave a messange open (MSN, AIM, yahoo....), or your firewall is blocking it, so either disable your firewall or unblock the game. And if you are hooked up to a network, check and see what other people on your network are doing, see if they are doing something that is using A LOT of internet.

[link=]How do I use a spray?[/link]
[/blockquote]Answer: load the game and click options, if its DoD, it will be right there, just import spray, with TF2, its the last tab, just find the spray you want and upload it, put it to the key you want under keyboard options (personally, I like to use "T")[blockquote]
[link=]How do I post an image on the fourms?(or sig)[/link]
[/blockquote]Answer: First you need to host the image from a website like [link=hyperlink url]http://photobucket.com/[/link] or [link=hyperlink url]http://imageshack.us/[/link] I use photobucket, once you have uploaded your image, there will be something saying "IMG code" in photobucket, just copy that, in imageshack, look for the one that says "hotlink for forums".....and if someone has givin you the direct link to the picture, just copy the link to the pic, high-light it, and select the tree logo, if its in a post or your in your settings.[blockquote]
[link=]How do i get game mod/skins to work?[/link]
[/blockquote]Answer: When you downloaded the mod/skin, unpack it (if you have winRAR that is, if you dont, get it here [link=hyperlink url]http://www.download.com/WinRAR/3000-2250_4-10745708.html[/link] ) then open the folder till you see stuff like "materials, models, & sounds" (stuff like that) then go to "C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\your_account\team fortress 2\tf" or "C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\your_account\day of defeat source\dod" for DoD, and paste the folder(s) there, when it askes "replace" click yes (if you unpack it and see "materials, models, & sounds" folders or something, then just copy those)....and if you screwup your skins or dont like them, just delete your materials, models, (any folders youve added to) and when you launch the game, it will rebuild these for you, all your stuff will be back to normal.[blockquote]
