Why do I have to d/l the exact same UT2003 maps over and over?

[The Sauce]

I love the game, but it seem very frequently the exact same map I played a week ago i have to d/l again when it comes up on the server. Is there any way to make the map saves permanent? It's quite annoying, especially with some maps taking ~ 8 MB.

Good question.

No idea, got the latest patch, v2199?

Somehow I don;t think that this is a patch issue. Same thing happened with original UT throughout it's life.

I have played UT for years and I have never had a map download to my machine more than once. I have been to many servers that offer custom maps and they never download more than once.

search for utcleaner and it'll save those maps so you wont have to dl them

Looks like it's not for UT2003, just the older version. Is that right?

i remember that happening back in the old UT

if i can recall, it was something to to with when the maps were installed through downloading them online from the gameserver, the files would have temporary properties or something. The solution was to install the maps manually by unzipping etc. Though i'm sure someone has made a .exe file that has all the core maps in it and makes them install autumatically.
