Someone suggested to add this thing for new E+

DFEngine

"Drakkar wrote an autodownload feature based on the http://q3a.ath.cx
repository and the download command. It should ease the process of
joining online servers quite a bit. This version introduces many other
improvements. Thanks go to Drakkar for his work and involvement."

I see that someone made simmilar or same thing on this server already:

Re: [Suggestion] DFEngine

it doesnt support pb.

also i have no idea if it fixes the frameloss problem, so servers cant run 24/7 without restart.

That is just some tricks above 1.32b public source (homemade thing): no delay for sending dl packets (i suppose it will lag active players in favor of donwloaders) and forcing cl_allowDownload = 1 via system info bug. I would suggest include that forcing into e+ server code along with introducing map certificates that will allow only trusted maps to be forcibly downloaded.

Re: [Suggestion] DFEngine

with dfengine u can download if ur quake is connected to inet, u dont need to be on the server and it directly downloads from q3a.th.cx 

dfengine also supports some other stuff which is definitly not ment for gaming Tongue

The primary goal is still having a full server Winking And so goes the world that you either need a community that follows your upgrades, or you must service strangers with their just basic games.

Imo better make public servers on ioquake (http://ioquake3.org/improvements/)

Autodownload works fine with http, ftp and direct download from server.

Compatibility with regular quake.

And as u can see popular quake mods have own loader.
