I was saying that we can release an installer to simplify installation.

That would be the main download. Individual map files could be hosted on rapidshit or some other gay-ass filesharing site so they have the option to be a faggot.
THIS, OR, instead of a massive installer, do it H2CE style (I'm sure some of you remember this) where you download a relatively small program that connects to a server and downloads everything for you - this would be much easier as you could start the process of obtaining the maps much sooner than waiting for a massive file to be downloaded, otherwise the same concept as jcap suggested applies.
