        !            47:   to run a server that loops through e1m2, dm2, dm4 and dm6, try this:
        !            48:         localinfo e1m2 dm2
        !            49:         localinfo dm2 dm4

        !            85:   Change them at will in the QC, but don't change them too often as every change
        !            86:   is noted and the clients are updated with the change so that their prediction
        !            87:   works correctly.  The per-client maxspeed should be very handy for the TF
        !            88:   guys.
        !            89: - fixed 'download ./server.cfg' security bug.
