The files were used to store locations of resources instead of the resources themselves to reduce download times. When playing a game, such as Half-Life, the RES file is referenced by the game if the player is playing a custom map then downloads the resources, making them playable within the game.

But as download speeds have increased, new resource formats have been released, and the game engine evolved, actual RES files have become less common. However, if a map with embedded resource lists cannot be accepted, the RES file can be used. If the BSP map is incorrectly loaded by the game, it is most likely due to a typo in one or more of the resource paths. You can use a text editor to view and edit the RES file.

Binary file automatically generated by Delphi programming software; contains the program's main icon and version information if necessary and is required for compiling a program; may also include other resources used within the application, such as bitmaps, cursors, and string tables.

So Googling shows it's happening to lots of others too but there's still no solid answer or solution which sucks. Be nice to download at a constant speed for all games rather than on-off. Agreed, sometimes it's great. Other times it's all over the place. Gork3n View Profile View Posts.
