Simple Bnet question {what is the maximum host-able map size?}

[XIOV]

I've run across this before but I can't seem to find it now. I've never had any problems in the past with it either, but what is the largest map filesize currently playable on battle.net? 5mb?

Its either 4 or 5. I want to lean towards 4 because I think A&A is like 3.9 and I know we couldn't mod it much because it would become too big. However recent patches could have made it 5. But I'm gonna say 4.

I just did something silly, but it worked. I took a map, uploaded a 4500kb file onto it and hosted it on bnet as "Wintermaul!!!!11!" about 5 people joined in 2 seconds. So I guess that means the limit is 5mb then?

8 MB. Some people obviously do not read patch notes.

PC WORLD EDITOR CHANGES

- Increased max map file size from 4 MB to 8 MB.
- Added the ability to store hashtable handles in a hashtable.
- Added GetSpellTargetX and GetSpellTargetY natives.
- Added a new base handle type “Agent” of which many types now extend from.
- Added a SaveAgentHandle native which can be used for saving most handle types.
- Added a JASS optimization dealing with global variable change events.

FIXES

- Fixed a few false positives caused by the "return bug" fix.
- Fixed a crash related to hashtable reference counting.
- “Shadowing” global variables with local variables no longer is possible.
- Fixed a type conversion dealing with operators (i.e. adding a handle with an integer).

Just because most good maps are 5 MB does not make that the max, please do not sprout random numbers because you have a feeling it is as you will end up confusing people even though blizzard made it clear that it is 8 MB.
