Where/How to list commands that always run (server)?

If you're trying to have maps download straight from the server, the maximum file size is bound by net_maxfilesize (default 16, max 64). You can work around the 64MB limit (and make downloads faster) by having your maps compressed in bz2 format, and have the .bz2 files sit alongside the uncompressed BSPs.

However, direct server downloads tend to be slow no matter what. It's recommended to also set up a fast download server, which consists of a HTTP site that mirrors all the custom assets of the game server. The easiest way I can think of (for Windows) is to set up Microsoft IIS, and if it's sharing the same connection as the game server, limit the bandwidth to a very conservative amount to prevent it lagging the server.

If you're running this server off your home connection and don't have a very large pipe, or you don't want to bother setting up and maintaining everything, my suggestion is to check out purchasing from a gameserver host like Jest or Branzone
