Yes, there's a 20,000 line limit per search. That'll slow you down considerably.

I'm sure in the end, once we figure everything out, it will be better, but the sudden shock is irking a LOT of people.

I have yet to see someone who's happy with it.

My problem is updating my existing quake files. I'll have to write conversion programs to make the new data compatible.
