Ok, so I have been trying to join the server, but it seems as though FL has added new content(that isn't in the content pack). Now each time I join it takes about 30 minutes to download all of the file(no idea why... they're probably pretty small. Its mostlikely because i'm in the US) and then when I DO connect, I get either a reliable snapshot or buffer overflow in net message. Then when I reconnect I have to download ALL of the same content again. Very annoying.
Anyways, any suggestions?

If you already have all the content you need to play on the server, just go to Options>Multiplayer>Custom Content. In the dropdown, choose not to download custom content, click OK. Then when you rejoin, you won't have to download the content as long as that is disabled. I would re-enable if you suspect there is new content.

the snapshot overflow / buffer overflow is something to do with the prop cache as explained in the FAQ but yeah take the advise from raffi contact soul because i do every known again i get the occasional constant download but its a 2 second one for me so it dont bother me.
