It's also worth considering filesize of the individual maps. Filesizes vary wildly depending on how aware the mapper was of Spring's tile-engine... although paying attention to the tiling engine is one more step in an already arduous process of making a map, and programs like WorldBuilder and L3DT don't make the maps in a such a way that they can be optimized for tiling.

You look at old ugly heavily-tiled maps like Castles and they're super-tiny filesizes. It's possible to make maps that look *good* that leverage the tiling, but very difficult.

Sadly, the web UI does not include filesizes so it's not obvious which maps are long downloads when looking at them.

For example, the Hundred Isles Remake referenced by @Orfelius is only 5 megs, while most maps weigh over 30.
