findclosest.pl -- Related to this is a little Perl script I wrote which tries to find the closest Quake3Test server. What is does is fetches Id's server list page (using 'lynx'), parses the output to pick out the IPs and other info, and pings each one to show how 'far' away it is. From the listing, you can pick out a server with a short ping time, the level you wish to play, and the number of users. Potentially, it would be easy to combine this along with q3tool to find a particular player on the servers you want to play against (pretty cool, ey? :'). Download

Example output (after piping through 'sort -n'):
