So pretty much any map over 64MB, compressed or not, isn't downloading
anymore. I don't know what type of fix broke this functionality but
being able to download a map bigger then 64MB is important imo.

I reported it to Eric. It's an issue with how they fixed the
decompressed file size check.
A TL;DR of the entire situation is I found an exploit that allowed you
to zip-bomb clients over fastdl. Reported it. They fixed it by making
FastDL listen to net_maxfilesize. Net_maxfilesize is engine-locked to
64MB, which means even if the map is sent over FastDL, if the
uncompressed file is more than 64MB, it wont download it on the client.
I sent him an email about this issue this caused, and asked if they
could whitelist BSP files. The zip-bomb exploit wont work with BSPs
as you can only send a single bsp file over FastDL per connect, and
the server has to be running the map. That would cause the exploit to
not work.

Is anyone having issues with map downloads after this? It says the map
is missing. I checked my FastDL web server logs and it returned HTTP
200 to the client.
