I just edited some music on an already edited map of mine, and when I hosted it the DL was incredibly slow. Someone mentioned compressing the files, so I googled it and found COOL95. I followed the instructions, and the files did go from about 3 mb to just a few hundred kb, but the DL didn't seem to go down at all.

I deleted the old WAV files from the list on the campaign editor, but that didn't seem to do anything. Did I do something wrong?

What you are doing is compressing the windows files. What people suggested was compressing the MPQ file. Download WinMPQ from the download database and open your map with that, then click the compress button. That'll probably do the trick.

well I did that, it did speed the DL up quite a bit but it still seems a little slow...I'm thinking I did something wrong. I opened WinMPQ, loaded the map, clicked the Mpq tab, went to Compression, Audio, and checked Highest(least space), and then Compact...I couldn't find any Compress option

Yeah that's what I mean. I remember that the MPQ wav compression worked better with some wav settings. I don't remember them though, I'm sure you can find them somewhere in the original staredit's help file. You can use sound recorder or any other wav editing program to change the wav settings.

The editor automatically compresses 16bit, and use mono sound to get the smallest possible size. I'm not sure if SCMDraft does that though.

Well, I guess the speed is livable both of the files together are about 530 kb...anyway, thanks for the help!
