How can I get the maps I download from the UT2004 cache? I had a program but
it doesn't seem to work anymore, anyone know of a good program?

You don't need a special program. Open the cache.ini file, or whatever
it's called - it contains the names of the files in the cache, and how
they *should* be called. Rename them and put them in the right
directory.

Why is it done this way instead of just naming them what they should be?
Any theories?

Every Unreal file is a package that can contain various things - sounds,
maps, models, code, etc. When such a package is created, it gets a
unique ID number. The files in your cache have this number as their
name. Packages which had the same original filename (say, sounds.uax)
but belong to different mods can co-exist in your cache without one
overwriting the other.

if anyone is interested I've written a multi cache cleaner app that does all
ut1 / ut2003 and ut2004 cache directories in a single app. I've also added
info into the proggy to display any cd-keys / version numbers and locations
of install for all versions of ut as well..

get it off the clan webby: http://www.old-clan.co.uk/

on the main page click 'multi cache cleaner' on the quick links section..
