IF that has been downloaded while joining a multiplayer session it sure would botch that server. There where a lot of other user made skins in .jpg format at about 2.5Mb in the folder but that feels OK.

Anyone knows why a bmp file would end up there?
That would explain the occasional freeze up that occurs during MP when a new player spawns. Also the recent two crash to black screen I've recently experienced during MP.
