Ok so I run a server for me and a few friends, and I recently switched it over to a mod server so we could run custom maps (you know, since MW2 is no longer wroth getting. ).

I do not have a redirect server so the map and mod files cant be downloaded by other people. That is fine, all the guys I play with like within a few minutes drive of me and I can just tell them what maps to DL. MY problem is that on when we are playing and the map rotates to the next one it will still try to download the map files, even though they are already there.

The strange part is, it doesn't do it all the time. Not even the same maps all the time. It will try to DL a map and then if I restart the server and that map comes up again it works no problem. I don't really know how to explain this...

It is very inconsistent. Sometimes we will play for hours no problem, then other times it will be trying to DL every other map.

Anyone have any ideas as to what is going on?

I have downloading disabled in the server config. So that is not the problem.
