Your server comes with built-in fast downloads. When a player joins without one of your custom maps, the game downloads it over the web from your server, which is much faster than the game's own download. There's nothing to set up: maps and files you upload are ready for download after the next restart.
If you'd rather serve the files from your own web host, you can set a download redirect instead.
Using Your Own Download Server

maps,materials,modelsandsoundfiles to a web host, keeping the same folder layout, for examplehttp://files.example.com/zps/maps/zps_mymap.bsp. - 2Log in to Bropanel and select your server.
