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. Paul
:>PC Release list has a new rally game. It's huge so I haven't :>downloaded yet. Is it any good? 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. Regards, Karsten

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
