I just tried for 15 minutes to connec to a DOTA game online. I've done this before,so i wanted to see DOTA. Everytime I clicked on a server,I would connect,I would see the lobby for 1 second,then I'd get returned to battle.net. What's going on?

The person who created the game is probably kicking you out because they don't want to wait on you to download the game.

Usually people are only playing the newest version of DoTA. Just look and see what version they're playing and then google for it.

You have to move the map to the downloaded maps folder. I think the location is C:\program files\Warcraft III\maps\download

It doesnt matter, as long as it's in any map in the folder C:\Program Files\Warcraft III\Maps than the game will instantly recognize the file regardless if you put it in download, ladder ect.

The Warcraft 3 community is arguably one of the worst communities in the faces of mankind. Halo kids pales in comparison IMO.
