sv_allowdownload question

Hi,

I am having a problem with one of our servers. It is running purely
custom maps as well as CKR realism. All of the maps and the mod are in a
seperate directory (using fs_homepath) for tidyness but I seem to have a
problem with allowed downloads.

Now, I want it so that the clients do not try and download the maps
automatically .. anyone who wants the maps can download them from the
website .. but I am having issues whereby the clients try to download
CKR (even though it is server side)

* If sv_allowdownload = "0" on the server, clients with "allow download"
OFF *can* connect to the server without having CKR installed locally.
* If sv_allowdownload = "0" on the server, clients with "allow download"
ON will need to have CKR installed locally.

So, even if I set sv_allowdownload 0 it still wants the mod.

Is there any way around this or is this just how CoD works? If this is
how it works is there and way to set the mod pk3 so that it will not be
requested?

TIA
Josh
