often people will hit cancel rather than wait for a server to give them the map. The server will only send the map to them at about 5kbps or something painful I think its set by sv_maxrate.
You have two options,
1. get sv_downloadurl working. I think it works for CSS so its just a case of find out how - theres a big thread on steampowered forums
2. put the maps in zipped files and link to the files in the motd, when people connect to the server and see the message of the day they have the option of downloading the maps nice and quickly.
