But be careful, I run into some problems using this feature, below is my report to Alfred:

Sadly most of the map makers ignore that linux differentiate upper and
lowercase letters in filenames. And they include resources in their maps
which they actually don't use. E.g. de_inferno requests a file named
"corvette.wad" which doesn't exist anywhere. Or de_train uses
gfx/env/trainyardbk.tga but the file is actually named
gfx/env/TrainYardBk.tga.
The old transfer method compensated those problem (ignoring missing but
unneccessary files, converting upper/lower case) but with the deligation of
the transfers to a webserver this is/can no longer be handled
automatically. Serveradmins have to check those problems on their own and
fix them by hand.
I don't know of a simple solution to this but at least a short "readme"
which records those problems should be provided.
Best regards, Dieter
