if people are good enough to find ioquake3, they will also read some help files.( Maybe someone can add the info to enable auto downloads to <a href="http://ioquake3.org/?page=help">http://ioquake3.org/?page=help</a> ) and mod devs can do what they want

<br>and many don't know how to turn on auto-downloading or even know what<br>it means to so. Furthermore, some Q3A-literate users still may wish to<br>keep autodl off for other reasons.<br><br>What if there was functionality that prompted the user if he wanted to
<br>enable one-time downloading from a server connect, if his autodl is<br>disabled? I don't think this would stray from the original concept.<br>Just further facilitate user-friendliness with downloads. It would<br>curb illiterate user frustration and help literate and cautious users
<br>to be more selective with what is downloaded.<br><br>Quoting Zachary Slater <<a href="mailto:zakk@timedoctor.org">zakk@timedoctor.org</a>>:<br><br>> Dirk wrote:<br>><br>>> and PLEASE!!!!... make allowdownloads enabled by default (in the
