[cod] Odd Problem

[B.M. Schiltmans]

If you're sure the redirect is correctly setup and contains the same 
files as the server then it's probably one of the maps.
It's not so much an unsupported gametype, it's most likely an unclean 
.iwd. Somehow cod doesn't really like map-.iwd's with a lot of junk in it.
Open the map-iwd's with winzip or winrar and check the contents. They 
should only contains an images and a sounds folder (not required). Toss 
anything else out and try again.
To make the search harder, the map that's looping in download is 
(probably) NOT a problem!!! It's the map that was running before it 
that's unclean!!
Problem is the UNloading of the junk, not the actual loading.

Hope that helps you find the problem.
