Create a campaign-file for every single map and run the server in gametype 4... the players will be able to vote every map...regardless if they already have it or not...
However this might be some work if you aint got a script that is doing the job for you ^.^
not possible
they have to download it manually or just press escape after the map has been downloaded + /cl_allowdownload 0
there will be other files which will be downloaded before tho
Edit: oh i think im wrong
there is a way, but dunno the cmd now
If you're having a map rotation, the client downloads all maps from rotation at first time (imo).
If you're just having maps in the server, it wont start downloading all of them if their not in use.

correct is: megaton.
set sv_wwwBaseURL "http://yourftpsitewhereyourmapsarestored"
Set that up in server.cfg and let them download everything they are missing.
