allot of people are complaining about slow map downloads, im having the same problems too... and it is very annoying, the loading has been reduced 80% in version 0.49.
the programmers of TT really needs to optimize the hole system and gain the loading speed, i would like to see the devs making the loading more faster than 0.48 if its possible, the programmers of TT needs to optimize the hole system, perhaps TT could use more programmers,

the slow map loading isnt the only problem in 0.49, but evrytime a map is loaded, and when you just got in a server, evrything starts to lagg, its really annoying, and if there is just too many laggs you get kicked out of the server, and thats another damn 5 minutes wasted,
what i suggest is to have a system and connection loader evry time you entered a server, so evrytime you entered a server "after the map load"
you should see this system/connection optimizer on your screen:
as you can see, this feature i suggested optimizes your system performance , so you can run the game smoothly after evrything is loaded fully,
and after the system optimization, your connection should be loaded properly so you wont have laggs, the connection loader should reach your actual connection speed, so in otherwords evrything has to connect properly before you can play,
evrything should run smoothly after your system/connection should is loaded, it is to prevent the annoying laggs
example, when you just entered a server:

ok this problem isnt new, now you know when you are at spawn with your team mates... and after the countdown when the match starts, you notice that evryone isnt starting at the exact same time right?
some people are like 10 meters ahead when your spawn countdown is just finnished counting, i think the problem is that evryone's connection isnt loading properly, so i suggest that evryone's connection/system should be loaded properly after the countdown so evryone can start simultaneously,
example:
but i dont think the system optimizer is needed for the spawn start, but i think the connection loader would be very necessary for the spawn start,
1 last thing, how come the player models always end up landing from above when the match starts?
it looks ridiculous and unrealistic, IMO the player models should stay on their feet.
