If you mean set up a server that is not connected to the internet, no, 
unless your friend is in the same house or location as you, in which case 
you can just network your 2 computers. If you mean you want a server that is 
online but NOT a public server, yes. But it will be a dedicated server, not 
a listen server and you will need a separate box. Just add "+set dedicated 
1", instead of dedicated 2, (without quotes.) If this doesn't make any sense 
as I suspect, see the tutorial you already have in start/quake iii 
arena/quake iii arena help system/dedicated server information. You can 
speed up the transfer of maps by ftp'ing them to a host site and having your 
friend connect to that and download them from the ftp host to his computer. 
If you need more info, remember google is your friend. There is still plenty 
of server info out there you can access.

Nope.  All this stuff is over my head.
We are playing Q3 on the internet and, although no one ever connects,
I think the games we make are open..  I think they report to the
master server.  I have 5M/512k speed and he has 3M/256k speed.
We are alternating using Q3offline and each being the server.
When we send to each other the receiver reports a transfer speed of
12K
I have Googled for this many times.

The closest I have found is this command.

set sv_dl_maxRate "5000"

The only trouble is that this is not a command on the Q3offline list.

Q3offline shows the server config file that it makes, but if we add
that line to the config nothing happens and it goes away after the
game.

Thanks

I think you need the "sv_maxrate" setting, put it too something like 25000
or 30000 (Q3 won't let you download faster then 30 kb/s anyway)

sv_maxrate is for clients playing on the server, I don't think it has 
anything to do with map download rate. I'll see if I can come up with how 
that is capped. It may just be capped at that rate period.

Sv_maxrate = is the serverside command for the /rate  command clients use to 
download or connection speed in general :). Using it every day on my 
server... most server have this set to 8-9000 for good play.
