Usually nobody seems to agree with me, but I'll say it again: Higu's jump training helped me a lot when I started learning jumps, so maybe it's worth checking out. There's some overlap between it and RaneFire's list, though.
I would also recommend people to look at that training and play some maps, but just don't follow his rules too strictly and rather just explore the maps. His tiers are not very accurately organised because he split them into too many groups, and some maps in the same tier are far harder than others, even than those in the following tiers.
There's a small overlap of maps, mainly because I did look at his training as well when he made it. I was already making own list only a few months prior though. Any maps I found to be useful for myself got added to my list, since it was a "me,myself & I" training list which I never really intended to share until recently. That's also why I put a disclaimer in my profile since I can't remember exactly where I got all the maps that I added, but I'm sure they're from places all over this forum.
My list was originally a real mess in which only I knew my way around. I had to separate them into some tiers before posting them in the "how to improve" thread or it would just confuse newcomers since the difficulty was all over the place. I'm still not happy with it now either because some of the maps are not completely jump-focused and may get boring to retry for the sake of a few patterns. Then there is also the issue of "old-style maps" which I always thought of as rather difficult to aim on... so some of those have made it in... some people disapprove of their worth.
I think the main difference between my lists and others, is that I actually practice with mine, so... they work... for me. xD Continually adding maps too though
Even Tier 0 was useful to me, which aren't really jumps, but difficultly spaced singles.
