Sorry, RCJD, for moving your post to its own thread, and hijacking it slightly, but as you've discovered, the nc servers do have a problem. I'm quite sure the reason there are so many cheats is because nine times out of ten the wrong demo is downloaded; exactly what has happened here.
Unfortunately, without the demo it's not proof of obvious cheating, but I've left the screenshots there for people to make up their own minds.
I've often been accused of being too happy to ban servers, but the nc servers are not breaking any rules. The problem with demo downloading is a bug in the current version (it's fixed in SVN) that affects multiple servers on the same Windows box. This is why most servers don't have the problem. I *can* ban the nc servers, but since nc|armed has provided his servers for such a long time, it seems a slap in the face to just cut him off. Needless to say, I don't have any contact details for armed.
This is happening too much though...
