ok, !'m good but even I can't do further, this, to the best of my knowledge, is the only place where they are accessible.
I could add that he would then change the map (add a computer, change the "map info" name to one of his choice) and to then use "test map" feature which might do the trick.

That's what I thought of suggesting at first, but if he can't connect to B.net, and can't do this method right?

bnet=/=galaxynet

They're really two different things? I mean, we use the same account and password to connect to both right?

The main difference is that "galaxynet" would not be meant to be under the same restrictions than bnet.. they don't have to be "on point" / responsive and reliable, like they have to be on the actual game platform.
("We regret any inconvenience etc")
They give the access/galaxy and then tell you that they don't (new trendy word sense) "support" it!

This won't solve his internet problem, but fewer people use galaxy/its platform, so it could work, same for test map.

Whenever Battlenet is down or uncontactable (down for maintanence, technical problems, version mismatches) the same is true for the connection from the map editor. So I always assumed they were one and the same.

Have you tried downloading them with the map editor? That sounds easiest. It would have been automatically installed on your computer when you installed SC2. Also you'll need the editor to play on the maps offline.

I know no more than other people, perhaps my being on mac and windows makes it different?
I have frog disastrous internet connection sometimes (average to low the rest of the time, although "ping" softwares tell me it is excellent all the time: lol) and I have had many different scenarios since Wol: bnet doesn't let me in while "gnet" does and vice versa. Not to mention all the bugs this platform performs #sigh#.
My kid's windows pc has never been able to connect to it (only got it recently, I have to publish/open maps through my mac whose galaxy doesn't feature the units menu, and whose synching dependencies fail half of the time #facepalm#), this due to windows8 (and up)/mac/"gnet" synch problematics I suppose (circumventing has venting in it #joke sigh# so I shouldn't blame anyone for it).

However, what I would bet my life on is that there is not one good reason for these two platforms to be common or related, even in the slightest!
"Treat it as a beta" is the "professional" point of view of blizz or any application on the market for that matter (for instance, how soon before sc2 mapmakers need to be part of "win10 insider" just to be able to use such platforms?).
No they do not get "heavy traffic" (less than 1/10000 consumer uses it), no they do not tell you that you can play your map on "older" patches if an update kills it, etc. This is a remnant of years of history that lingers on until the new model destroys the old:
you buy an editor/game, not a game with an unsupported editor.
Until then, quagmire status will be the norm. Here, one must pause to say "Thank you Blizzard for reeasing your map editor, no one else does it <3 !
tldr: This is sparta!

Ok, so you would want "someone" to make these maps accessible somewhere else (presumably "for Aiur"?) ?
Once that is downloaded (

), what do you intend to do? Did you hope to play them offline?
Did you try the test map feature?
Edit: see below ...,

Good luck, I did all I could.+ Show Spoiler [for too many pictures] +

I downloaded it to have it show up in my computer.

Other such downloaded work fine offline:
