The making of map packs was abandoned long ago, when it became clear that the production of new maps was happening so rapidly that any packs being released were already incomplete or had older versions of maps that had since been updated.

The easiest way to get a copy of every map is to get a copy of the Windows program FlashGet* and go to http://sad.dhs.org/files/maps/ in IE. Then right-click in the window and select "Download by FlashGet". A dialog will appear asking you to tick off which files on the page you want to download (select them all). Then hit Go.

*I've heard FlashGet contains spyware. It functions normally after I ran Ad-Aware, though. If anyone knows of a better program that downloads all links on a page, post it here, please!

Once I get fast file downloading implemented in the game, it won't be much of an issue.

Some people still want a copy of every map, like server admins, or dialup users.

Jit: Maybe you could impliment something very much the same as planetquake/servers.txt, only containing map http d/l locations as a alternate method?
something like...
!www.paintpoopy.com/files/maps
@tehmap.bsp
@mormappage.bsp
!YAYO.COM/HAX
@good.bsp

See, use my file format.
