Defense of the Ancients (Dota) is a custom map for Warcraft 3. There are 2 forces with 5 players each fighting each other. The players control an hero which they can level up or upgrade with items. A standard game usually lasts 30-60 minutes depending on the skill of the players. The map itself is around 3 megabytes big which makes it extremely slow to share it via the wc3 client and results in kicking of downloaders. You will need an external source to download the map.
Dota is considered the most popular custom map for Warcraft 3 even awarded by Blizzard Entertainment.
The following is a list of different Dota-versions with high speed downloads.
To install you will need a valid copy of Warcraft 3 Reign of Chaos and The frozne Throne, the latest Warcraft 3 patch. To install follow the instructions:
