+Ok, I splitted each game into it's separate package as you suggested,
+leaving only inside ioquake3 the engine per-se and the quake 3 demo,
+and put in separate packages Urban Terror, World Of Padman and Smokin'
+Guns. All of this packges only contain the necesary scripts to
+autodownload at first run the data files of the game. They where
+pushed to the BS and should be already available on mirrors.
+
+I'll apply the same autodownload technique to fix the Sauerbraten
+issue and to other games that also use the ioquake3 engine but have
+issues with the game data files too.
+
+Please test and have fun !!
