but whenever i try to join a game it says "Mis-typed CD Key or Invalid CD Key"
and can i play a map online if i dont have it downloaded? and can i download load something to let me?

Did you read the announcement thread at the very top of the topic listing in this forum: QIII Discussion Info Thread (First time here? Read this) ?

If not, then please do so. You can find all that info over there; we put it there so we don't have to answer the same questions over and over and over.

Well ive opened up the file (Q3KEY or whatever) disabled all my firewalls and it still doesnt work. Ive renewed my ip.
And is it normal to have hour long download times? (For ingame map downloading?)

Thanks,

Autodownloading can be very slow, depending on the server and your settings (rate 25000 gives the highest download speed).
