What's needed is someone to rent out an unlimited bandwidth machine. Then, run a site on it with url redirect as a feature. I know Doom 3 has url redirect and from what I'm reading they are fixing it for Quake 4. This would allow all game servers and clients to have a central repository for downloading maps as well as offering game server admins the option to setup their servers to point at the site for clients to download maps.

Am I making any sense? :paranoid:

I have the resources to do this. I run a game server hosting business and have approximately 22 + Dual CPU machines going. But I would need someone to build a web site with the ability for mappers and modders to submit maps/mods and to have someone maintain and evaluate such uploads for download retrieval. If anyone is interested in starting such a project, please PM me.

I actually did this for awhile as 'mouseumk' for Doom 3 -- if you go to id dev Doom 3 news area you'll see I'm mentioned there. The only reason I stopped was due to lack of interest in Doom 3.

True, but competitive players post there and mappers like swelt, voodoochopstiks etc. too.

But it has some of the best gameplay mappers posting there so I will take some of the problems instead of downloading something that may look good but play like shit. :icon32:
