No, you shouldn't have to download it again. You'll have to load the map, of course. Here's a tip: try the -image function and have it run overnight to download all files.

if you're on xp just go to the properties of the GW icon, and type -image after what's already there... this will download all the game files. Make sure you remove -image again when you actually want to play as it will only download while that function is still on.

With Vista it's a little more complicated, but there's a great run through somewhere here on the forums. Do a search and you should be able to find it.

Edit: nvm, found it for you...
