There's also a way to have the ingame browser only refresh servers under a 
ping that you designate like, 150 for example. It usually refreshes in about 
30 seconds or less. Problem is, I forget how. I think you add a line to your 
autoexec, or to q3config.cfg. I just don't remember what that line is. 
Anybody?
