It is a file containing a unique hash that is generated on each new install of the tremulous client. When you connect to a server the client will unhash this file and send to the server a 30-character-(or so) GUID (Globally unique identifier). This GUID is completely unique to you and is basically how the server identifies you and decides what level of admin you should have.

So, when you first go onto the server and use /register, and you get your nick-protection, this is how the server remembers who you are the next time you log on

uh oh well thats a real problem.
it's like ure on a level and when u are gonna continue it says "couldn't found saved file" and all that progress uve done all those things... rubbed off.
i understand that and i gope u find ure qwey.

No, it is something like your password. Server will know that user with this password is you. So you can use your registered nick and level. If you have different password (reinstall...), server will not allow you to use your previous nick.

qkey is created automatically when you run tremulous for the first time.
