Couple things.

The auto downloader downloads maps you already have. That isn't good.

The auto downloader should have an option of either doing the background downloading or the download on load, depending on what the player wants.

Define "The auto downloader downloads maps you already have."
As the resource manager supports versions, either for updated maps or differences between servers. If you've downloaded the .mix file this can't be checked, and thus it is downloaded. If you have a version that is different on the server, you'll also have to download it.

As for making it an option, it is probably not as easy as it looks.
