I would like someone to fix my map. When I go to host it on Battle Net it says the map is too big, then it closes out back to the battle net. Help please?

Because 8 MB is the maximum filesize allowed for maps.

Try this tutorial: http://world-editor-tutorials.thehelper.net/cat_usersubmit.php?view=67501
It will give information on reducing map size by compressing models, sounds, skins, etc.
Forget the recommended programs there, try these:
Sounds - LameXP - http://www.softpedia.com/dyn-postdownload.php?p=21295&t=0&i=1
Textures/skins/images - BLP Lab - http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/tools-560/blp-lab-v0-5-0-a-137599/
Models - MDX Squisher - http://www.wc3c.net/showthread.php?t=83416
All free, simple and small programs.
Note: That compressing something reduces the quality and the file size of a file. I've found
that you can compress the hell out of skins and textures of models, without noticing it. You can
probebly get away with a bitrate of 32 for sounds. And theres no options for MDX squisher, just pop
the file in, and out it comes.
If your map is still too large after these steps, you will have to simply remove some things from your
map. Sorry.
