err wrong, it downloads the wrong file ( the server version if I read yoshiros post correctly ), so no it does not work.
Well ok, fine it doesn't work... it "Appears" to work, but even if it did work, as I said, it's slow as frozen snot and you're still better off to manually download it.
To go on a tangent a bit, I think the worst downloading was in RO1 when trying to get the latest version of Arad_RealForest.... so many damn things to download & takes forever, while other maps usually took maybe 2 mins max and you had everything.
I tried to find the right Arad map online to manually download, but I usually couldn't find the latest version of the map, or even if I did, I still ended up downloading crap off the server.
