I'm having a bit of trouble downloading some arcade maps ...
Can anyone help me here?
Well, while there is help here .. you don't really help us to help you.
Are you downloading through the editor? if so, is it just starting to upload or does it not even give you the download option?
Are those melee or other (heavier) maps?
The actual space required on your computer should not prevent you from downloading a map through the editor (the size of a melee map is negligible) .. if you can't upload that then you are in trouble on said computer,
however a "weak" internet connection would easily be responsible for preventing you to download from blizz's servers.
Also, you might need to update your editor/sc2 for it to work (#online or offline should seem to not matter but it does.. the way you connect to blizz's galaxy servers matters). So checking those fundamentals could help.
Yes, if you have done all the updating blizzard has done for years, of course you will have useless/outdated stuff from never clearing that shi t up.. no blizzard does not care to take care of that process (deleting outdated files) and yes that could be a real space waster.. but that's the "game" and the launcher and the platform documents not galaxy maps per say.. you should be able to have all the maps you want in your map folders and in the cache ?!
If it is the size of the "arcade" maps that is the problem that is entirely a connection issue and it won't be solved unless your internet gets better or blizzard fixes its platform (downloading an arcade map is often downloading a series of documents that (as far as i know) is not easy/intuitive or quick...
gl and have/make a good tl
