well, that's pretty simple: To play a map in multiplayer (lan or online, does not matter) its size can be a maximum of 8mb (and was 4mb a long time ago before blizz raised it). What wonders me is: you really have found a map thats 100mb and has multiple open player slots? Then even the creator did not know about the size limit?
