How about a Term in the Installerlicense, that if you agree, you also agree to auto-dl every (full working) Mod available currently, if you are connected with the Lobby and have bandwith free ? If Peoplz can dl hundreds of Maps, why not 3 or 4 (compared to some Mapsizes) small Mods...
So the Request is a Auto-Dl for the LobbyClient, that can pause and continue, if bandwith fades or is again free.

Wheres the self-destruct button
/me looks around franticly
Seriously though u be using up peep's bandwidth (could be sharing / paying for a set amount) and harddrive space.
But a database with a set way in stone for lobby clients to access mod / map information & download / install them, would be nice without havin to use a webbrowser.

Automatic mod download I could agree with, but enforced download without user consent, that's either wronglyly harsh or badly worded.
I like it in games like Unreal or Half-Life when the maps and small mods I don't have automatically get downloaded and installed without me having to do anything about it apart watching the progress bar. Ok actually it's not fun to have to wait when I'm eager to play, but it's the automatic part that I like. I click on the server, it automatically download and set up everything needed, so much better than having to look for files myself on the great wild internet, and ending up with v2.3.5 while other player have v2.3.5b and losing half an hour trying to get everyone in the battleroom get the proper map and mod.
