You can use a plugin to modify those nav files but thats not the problem here. Hosting those nav files is also not a problem for me, I already host 25 gigs of maps. I didn't upload nav files for them because I knew they are no use to clients who are connecting unless they will launch listen server with bots and if they are missing the nav file in this case, their listen server will auto generate the nav file.
This was fine before steampipe update as the client searches for .nav file and then looks for .nav.bz2 file, If non are found it moves on. After the steampipe update there is a pause of about few seconds when it's searching for nav file unlike before it was done quite fast. I cant generate nav files for all those 25 gigs of maps if you know what I'm trying to say.
