It should be fixed for our next release, which isn't too far away. Thank you for reporting this!

This was a terrible problem. Our group of players were completely blocked on this. Being a computer professional, I tried all sorts of things to research a fix to the problem. UltimateIy I found a post that someone made that included a copy of the minimaps in a cache.rar file. Putting them into the cache directory fixed the problem. One thing that makes me nervous is this rar file contained some minimaps I already had, but some of my copies were larger, with the rest of the duplicates being the same size.

Post that contained the cache.rar file:

After clearing the FAF cache, logging into FAF takes forever. I am left at the "Logging in..." screen after entering my credentials. Looking at the log file FAF appears to be downloading minimaps at a VERY SLOW rate. So slow that it will take a massive amount of time to login. I have left my 3 ghz quad core @ 30mbit machine running for two days without finishing.

Expected Result
A way to login in a timely fashion with as much being done in the background as possible. Any suggestions?

Misc information
    -Our mapset contains every map that we can get our hands on.
    -About 30% of the maps in our collection was downloaded from the machine taking forever to login.
    -New machines that have never run FAF are able to login instantly.

Excerpt from the log is attached
