ok i am posting this because i am having problems downloading from halomaps. also this corresponds to the release of Harbinger. if you know how to FTP then this is for you:

i am on a mac so i will be refering to Terminal

1. open terminal
2. type this in WITHOUT QUOTES! "ftp files2.halomaps.org"
3. when it prompts for a name type in "anonymous"
4. when it prompts for a password type whatever you want it does not matter
5. press the enter key or the return key
6. now type "cd /files"
7. now type "get " the type "the_file_name.zip"

what that last command means is that you type in the name of the file. it will begin downloading right away, and i find it is much less annoying than waiting for the download button to actually work and not redirect you to the main halo CE maps page.

EDIT: and i just realized that this should be in the tutorials so if anyone would like to move it that would be great.

I wouldn't really call this modding Halo PC.

Yeah...i'd consider this the dirty way of downloading. And its not modding, and it needs to go in Tutorials

i did say i made that mistake i apologize, this is not a dirty way to download, this is how you download from an FTP site using Unix.
