Ever lose your property cache and have to reload all your works again to see
them (not talking about objects themself loading, just the location of them,
aka: property cache)?

Well, it'd be a a nifty feature if reloading the cache could be easy. All
you would do is type the farthest NE, and SW coords to cache, and click
download, and then boom, no more having to slow down and wait for stuff to
come up =)

Speaking of property cache, why does it download sooo slow? 300 bytes per
second? what is that? Yes, alot of people are probably caching too, slowing
down the server, but why wouldn't that slow down the object loading, like
when you first come into a world.

What I do is periodicaly copy parts of my cache to another folder, so in an
event of a crash Or corruption of my cache I just go back to the backup,
copy it back to the cache and all is back to normal :o)

I normally only experience cache corruption of the world which I was in
when the crash happened, so I only need to copy back the property cache of
that world. Thankfully after installing windows 2000 on my system these
crashes aren't so frequent anymore.

Yes I see what you mean about slow downloading...it is frustrating to say
the least...all I can get is about 1KB a second and somethimes it comes in
fast bursts for a few seconds at 4KB (excluding download of models and
textures) then halts and I have to bounce of a private world just to get it
to go again.
I'm not sure if it is because of me being loacted in a remote part of the
world with only a modem for access or is their server actually very slow.

I've tried to copy my cache many times, but when I start AW (after using the
backup), it just doesn't work, and starts with a new cache file. Heck, I
even copied the whole entire AW directory, and it still didn't work. You
said you copy parts of your cache?
