I'm referring to trying to solve the horrible way that CE hosts custom maps, if a client try's to join a server without the custom map they're denied. If Open Sauce could somehow let the client download the map from the server (or another external download location) I'm sure custom maps would become more popular! This would have to be a server-side application obviously.
Well, in general, yes, you could theoretically implement an extra network stream to get files between a server and client that are both running Open Sauce, but let's face it: It'd be slow, and then we're still not quite clear on how to get Halo to work with new maps without restarting it. Also, it's way out of the realm of what OS should do.
