I tried to download it, after 1 hour and 45 minutes, there was three
minutes remaining, and guess what, my line dropped!  I'll wait for a
split set of files next time.  From the description, it appears
interesting but they advertise it as giving 12 fps (no hardware
description given).  I wonder if they think 12fps is a good feature?

I fdownloaded this game last night and played it for an hour or two.
I like it, but in a nutshell it looks and feels like Need For Speed.
THe cars are rally cars, but I didnt feel like I was driving one.  The
back end NEVER slipped out on me when i would go into a turn, and the
shocks did not act like they even mattered.  The graphics are good
looking, although I had to decrease the window size.  If you like Need
For Speed, get this game.  But if you are looking for a quality rally
racing sim, don't waste your time.

They said that the cutscenes/animatons run at 12 fps, not the actual game.

I'd like to know that too. I did download the file (19.2MB) and the ZIP-file
was ok. Unfortunately several of the files in the archive failed CRC-checks
and other similar things.

If anyone knows where to get a working demo of 'Network Q RAC Rally' I'd be
interested.

I tried from 2 sites (an FTP and an HTTP and they both eventually bombed
out about a third of the way through)

Is the demo available anywhere in chunks or only as a 19.2 meg file?

Thanks ,
Scott
