As far as I can remember, clients have had a tendency to leave unfinished (.ztmp?) files in their downloads directory if their downloads don't successfully complete. That'll leave the client unable to join any server running that map.
Honestly the entire download process should be reworked now that the 2013 engine supports the `download` directory. Servers should be able to overwrite what a client has already downloaded, as there are countless cases where mappers have released new versions of maps but never changed the file name. It would solve this entire problem.
