any plans for download redirection... i know this is as much a client deal as any... but it seems that the age has passed where dl'ing the zone files from the game server is a good idea...

This is actually only a client issue. A server can say "hey fuck you, i'm not wasting more bandwidth sending you this zone file, get it from http://www.lamezone.com/zone.lvz", but if the client doesn't respond, its just like the user saying "fuck you, give it to me anyway" and the server has to say "ok, sorry for being a fucktard" and give it to the client.

That's pretty much the protocol it'd have to follow (in really really dumb terms, heh). So this is more a client issue than any. If the client were to implement it because the server implemented it, then cool. Otherwise you're just screwed.

Sure I do. That's that nobody here has control over code to let the client do that.
