LL won't do it because you'll end up bitching about how you should keep a server up when he takes it offline

How could such a good game be free!? *downloads*

[Edit] MEMORY LEAK ALERT! It was taking up 150 megs of ram.. then it suddenly jumped up to 600+. Either it's a mem leak or i need more ram. 512 just won't cut it anymore.

That, sir, is because you are getting it from nvidia.download.com.

Here, by far the best free file servers, provided by Speakeasy:

Filecloud

Register and you will not regret it, and get Trackmania Nations while at it too.

Same thing happened to me with my (Saitek) keyboard 5Clicks. What I had to do was to go into device manager and disable the last two entries in the human interface devices section. After that it worked just fine and disabling those hasn't interfered so far with anything else. This is what it looks like:

That's the truth! Considering the price, this game is incredible! It also gets creativity points too.
