Hi Frazer,
As usual I'm amazed at the level of help.
Followed the instructions and voila, I'm up and running :)
There are a few things that could have been the cause of my problems:
1. My MIME types weren't described as application (don't know if it matters)
2. I hadn't allowed scripts on the virtual directory (it's off by default)
3. I changed my sv_downloadurl to http://myIP/MyVirtualDirectory/hl2mp
It might be that the hl2mp directory within the virtual directory
did the trick.
I just put the maps folder in my virtual directory.
This can thus be thought of as possible problems for allowing downloads
with IIS :)
See Frazers guide below for the solution.

Select the web site you want share the directory on. Usually, the Default
Web Site is fine.
Press the "Add" button to create an IIS virtual directory and alias name.
Enter "svdl" for the Alias name. Ensure Read access is selected and that
Scripts is selected for Application Permissions. Press "OK" twice.
Open up the IIS Management console.
Select the new svdl virtual directory in the tree view under Default Web
Site (or wherever you put it). View the properties for the virtual
directory.
Go to the Directory Security tab. Press the Edit... button in the
Authentication and access control section - and select Enable anonymous
access. Leave Integrated Windows Authentication checked - no other options
should be checked. Press "OK"
Go to the HTTP Headers tab. Press the MIME Types... button. Add the
following MIME types:
Extension: .ain MIME Type: application
Extension: .bsp MIME Type: application
Extension: .bz2 MIME Type: application (this last one for compressed
maps)
Not sure if it is necessary - but an IISRESET at this stage eases the nerves
of us paranoids.
Create the following sub-directory structure within your svdl directory.
(assuming D:\svdl):
D:\svdl\dod\maps
D:\svdl\hl2mp\maps
etc...
This is largely a matter of preference - but whatever structure and
convention you use, you need to be consistent with your sv_download cvar
setting.
Assuming you use the above structure, place your game maps in the
appropriate game map directory. From this point forward, I will assume you
are working with hl2dm. Your maps should all have the extension .bsp (or
bsp.bz2, if they are compressed with bzip2. - recommended - and yes, you
must specify the entire "bsp.bz2").
Make sure you have files, with matching names, for all the maps in your
rotation.
In the server.cfg file for your game, specify the following two CVars:
sv_allowdownload "1"
sv_downloadurl "http://yourwebserver.woot/svdl/dod/";
<shamelessPlug>
If you are using ogsWatcher, specify the following CVar tags, in the
<CVars> section of your game config:
<CVar Name="sv_allowdownload" Value="1" />
<CVar Name="sv_downloadurl"
Value="http://yourwebserver.woot/svdl/dod/"; />
</shamelessPlug>
Start your game server in your preferred fashion. Map downloading should be
working.
To test: changelevel your server to some custom map that your game client PC
does not have. Connect and see if it downloads.
Hope this helps.
Frazer

Thanks for the link Ian, but nothing in there is new to me and it's
still not working.
I added .bsp , .ain and .bz2 to the MIME types in IIS and now the
address works in IE/FF e.g.
http://www.eleanetwork.com/HLMaps/dm_agora.bsp but the game still
refuses to connect.
This is the error I get:
Missing map Maps/dm_agora.bsp disconnected (why is it referring to the
maps folder instead of HLmaps?)
It's strange though that when I try to connect the progressbar moves
beyond the bsp file and stops on the .ain file.
Also all the ain files are 1 kb and all of them seem to contain only
#, is that ok?
>From what I've been reading from the forums it seems that this
sv_downloadurl isn't neccessary except for if you want to download the
maps from somewhere else than your server. I have all of the maps on
my server and this new address is on the same server as the game
server. It doesn't even work to download them without the
sv_downloadurl so I'm wondering if this is still a port problem. Could
it be that maps and such are sent through another port than 27015?
I just tried disabling sv_allowdownload, sv_allowUpload and
sv_downloadurl and the progressbar still seems to start the download
as before, although with the same consequences (the progressbar label
also says it's downloading a bz2 file but I don't have any of those).
Thanks,
