this can be a version conflict, you can't play on 1.24 maps when you use version 1.23. (you can still join 1.24 servers hosting 1.23 compatible levels).
Another case could be that the level got edited & saved after it started, this makes you unable to download the map. Because the server updates the map however you have to play on the same map as the host.
If it's not any of these then it's probably a local fuckup in your jj2 settings .

Does it always fail at the same type of file? For example, The tileset, or the music?
I myself had a few struggles with jj2+ not wanting to download music files sometimes, so I disabled music downloading in plus.ini.
I can look at plus' ASM (or in the source, if that group that received it from Blur would give it to me, or respond...) if you can tell me what exactly it fails at.
Does it get stuck after a certain percent? or does it give the "Error downloading" disconnect message? What kind of file does it fail at? Does this happen on all servers, and everytime? Do these servers have both the same game version, AND the same plus version?
Oh, I just can't wait 'till someone hands me the JJ2+ source, 'cause I've been having this kind of issue so often in the past...

Ah, so in other words, the download starts, but then the server stops giving you data before the file is completed?
If you have this often with music files (j2b, it, s3m, mod, etc...) you can turn music downloading off in plus.ini
If you also have this with other files, I can't help you. I do not know what the cause of this is... Maybe someone else knows it.
