Somehow its worse for me - the evenings are already terrible. I've fixed most of the lag problems with my wireless net, but I still get ridiculous pings - over 200 in evenings. I get kicked so much...

Oh yeah, it's working better for me already. For some reason lately I was having trouble get on some servers. Seems all fine and dandy now after installing the patch.

Weird, if I3D only hosts one 1000mbit mirror finding more servers won't help you, it probably opens up more lines to the server pretending to be more pcs if the server has a download speed limit set per pc. which I don't believe I3D has

Still thx for the tip it used to work with my old DSL but I didn't bother to use it anymore.

You don't need it for this, but for downloading over 100mb files this is very useful:

Download Accelerator Plus: http://www.speedbit.com/

Free and easy to use. Essentially you put the download location in (right click on a link and hit properties) and it finds multiple servers to download it off (sometimes from different websites), then downloads from all of the servers at once. This generally pushes your speed over 150kb/sec, I can get over 400 occasionally.

EDIT: Oh, and make sure you restart your PC after patching BF2142 - in BF2 not doing this often caused problems.

Thanks for posting. FileFront didn't have the readme up when I downloaded. Ugh, at least they're trying, but the game is REALLY laggy still for Titan.
