+Using HTTP/FTP Download Support (Server)
+    You can enable redirected downloads on your server even if it's not
+    an ioquake3 server.  You simply need to use the 'sets' command to put
+    the sv_dlURL cvar into your SERVERINFO string and ensure sv_allowDownloads
+    is set to 1
 
+    sv_dlURL is the base of the URL that contains your custom .pk3 files
+    the client will append both fs_game and the filename to the end of
+    this value.  For example, if you have sv_dlURL set to
+    "http://icculus.org/quake3", fs_game is "baseq3", and the client is
+    missing "test.pk3", it will attempt to download from the URL
+    "http://icculus.org/quake3/base3q/test.pk3"
+
+    sv_allowDownload's value is now a bitmask made up of the following
+    flags:
+      1 - ENABLE
+      2 - do not use HTTP/FTP downloads
+      4 - do not use UDP downloads
+      8 - do not ask the client to disconnect when using HTTP/FTP
+
+Using HTTP/FTP Download Support (Client)
+    Simply setting cl_allowDownload to 1 will enable HTTP/FTP downloads
+    assuming ioquake3 was compiled with USE_CURL=1 (the default).
+    like sv_allowDownload, cl_allowDownload also uses a bitmask value
+    supporting the following flags:
+      1 - ENABLE
+      2 - do not use HTTP/FTP downloads
+      4 - do not use UDP downloads
+
+    When ioquake3 is built with USE_CURL_DLOPEN=1 (default on some platforms),
+    it will use the value of the cvar cl_cURLLib as the filename of the cURL
+    library to dynamically load.
