That really is a majorly stupid way of doing it, what happens when:-
1. In a few months when siteX that the mapper included as the source
expires or gets shutdown?
2. A good campaign gets popular and the people downloading it overload
the origin server?
Why not use the tried an tested redirect system like every other game?
Seriously Valve you need to revisit this and make a workable solution.
