G'day,
I went over my cable download limit today, and I keep getting kicked off the serevr by PB for 'Losing key packets'. Would this have something to do with the fact that I have 56k connection? Or is a whole different matter?

Really...how would you expect to play an online game if you reached your dowload limit?
While you play, your PC sends data to the server, you're playing on (upload) and also the server sends data to your PC (download). That makes possible for you to see where other players are, what are they doing and to see each other in sync...that's how the games work.
Note that both upload and download usually count towards your monthly data transfer limit. ISPs generally don't count only download. They count the amount of transferred data. Although for the general user - like you - the uploaded amount won't be a huge one. You can check it anytime if you click on the connection icon's status menu point. (or something like that, my XP is not english sry)
