	If using the same computer clear cache. If different computers, uhm, I'm not sure. How long are you waiting for the download? On slow connections there is sometimes quite some time before everything is loaded.

	I have tried on 4 different computers. My chached is clared, and the problem is on some races, and the game don't be finnish to download the weather thing. Right now, christmas to christmas work fine, but Norrtelje Maze Race just stand there and load all the time... I can take a screendump and upload if you want

	It sounds like a slow internet connection, the map sizes can vary greatly, but I might be wrong

	Looking at screen capture, I see a couple of things that might cause problems. 1) Norton is running some operation. A lot of Antivirus programs will suck memory big time, and if running updates and/or updating definitions will chew up bandwidth even on hi-speed connections. 2) looks like you are also streaming audio (and vid?) on privatradio. Also a big chewer of memory and bandwidth. If you happen to be using 3G or 4G plug-in antenna to access internet. there might not be enough bandwidth to handle all the demand. Plus your battery is getting low.
