Awaiting snapshot..... *10 minute pause*

[Broode]

Can anyone help me?

 

When i join a multiplayer game, the level and everything loads very quickly (ie. within 10 seconds), but as soon as i hit "Awaiting snapshot" it pauses for 5-10 minutes and only then lets me into the server.

 

What in god's name does awaiting snapshot mean? and is there any way i can get rid of it, or speed it up?

 

my computer: 1.3ghz p4, 256mb ram, geforce2 gts, 56k, thats about all that applies

 

any help is appreciated
