F5 might do the work

espessially when its large

yep, if u want to upload textures faster, use the appropriate size for them, it makes it easier to scan onto ur tori or something like that

Downloading them completely dependant on your internet connection. Menu textures & 256/512 heads will take longer, all other textures take less than a second to download.

The game auto-updates for a few minutes when you 1st load it, that's why some people have a long delay before textures are updated.

Slower net connection = longer time to update before the game downloads textures.

3.86 automatically downloads all the items for the logged in account, if you load the game & leave it alone you'll eventually spot a message telling you it's downloaded your textures.

o yea, forgot that thats one of the new features of 3.86
