Welcome to the official homepage of Battlefield 2 Auto Map Downloader!
I know, the homepage looks cheap but I havn't had any time to make a better one.

BFDL is a program that will automaticly download the custom map that a server is running and then automaticly launch the game and connect to the server.

The program is very simple to use, works with punkbuster and does not make the loadingtimes longer if you already have the map.
To find servers you can not use the ingame-browser(why anyone would want to do that anyway?).
You will have to use The All Seeing Eye unless you want to enter the IP by yourself.

As a server-admin all you need is the BFDL-server and a http- or ftp- server where the maps are hosted.

Features wrote: * Automaticly downloads custom maps from a server when you connect with ASE.
* Automaticly connects to the server after the download is completed.
* Small and fast.
* Easy installation.
* Works 100% on punkbuster-servers.
* No spyware, adware, startmenu-icons or other crap.

new version out.

New key-features:

* Displays the time remaining for all files togheter, not only one file at a time like before.
* Displays serverinformation and serverlogo while you are downloading.
* Ability to shut down the program automaticly when the download is finished.

Changelog BFDL 0.2 Beta wrote:
* Checks if the server has the maps hosted under same directory as the sponsorlogo in the gamespyquery instead of using a separate serverprogram.

* Displays the time left/filesize for all files(the entire map) instead of one file at a time.

* Displays fileprogress in the statusbar of the program.

* Displays the serverogo before download.

* Displays serverinfo while downloading.

* Program layout is changed a bit.

* Added ability to shut down BFDL automaticly before launching the game.

* Added ability to not automaticly download maps. Program checks filename and filesize and then asks if you want to download.

* Settings should now be saved when you shut down the program so you don't have to change them everytime.

* Added a check newest version function.

* Added fadeout-effekt on exit.
