Where does the Quake Live plugin store downloaded content?

Question

Want to copy it to another system (not browser) without downloading it again...

Answer 1

Your user data can be found depending on your OS in the following directories:

Windows 7 (probably vista as well)
X:/User/YourUserName/AppData/LocalLow/id Software/quakelive
You might have to enable the show hidden files option.

Mac OS X: /Users/YourUserName/Library/Application Support/QuakeLive/quakelive/

Linux: /home/YourUserName/.quakelive/

Answer 2

You should be able to run in multiple browsers without re-downloading the data. You only need the plugin for the browser you are using, which is ~6MB download.

Answer 3

For Windows 7, you can access the folder easiest by clicking the Windows Start Icon (at the bottom-left of your PC screen), and typing the following (or copy-and-pasting) into the search field:

%userprofile%/appdata/locallow/id software/quakelive/

In the AppData folder, it looks like this:

Local
LocalLow
Roaming

You can find many application folder in one of these folders.

For example, the Google Chrome folder is found in: %AppData%/Roaming/Google/

For future reference, the AppData folder is located in your usersname folder (where downloads and documents and pictures folders are), but it is a hidden folder.

You can turn on hidden folders to be visible by doing the following:

1. open any Windows Explorer folder window,
2. choose the Organize dropdown menu (in the top-right of the window),
3. choose Folder and search options,
4. click on the View tab, and
5. choose Show hidden files, folders, and drives.

Hope this helps! Good luck!
