Technical explanation:

The original maps of Unreal have the "download disabled" flag set. You -CAN- enable that using above tool if you want to.

LEGAL disclaimer: I am not entirely sure that it would be legal to enable this. On the one hand, you would enable downloading of copyrighted original game content within another game (UT != Unreal). On the other hand, the Unreal Engine EULA clearly states derivative work of any Unreal Engine game is always allowed inside any other Unreal Engine game. Please do consult a lawyer or Epic Megagame's legal department prior to enabling download of the original Unreal maps inside UT.

I can only support that.
I would not enable download for original Unreal files without strict permission from Epic.
But normally it even shouldn't be necessary because everyone who has Unreal should also have all the files.
For the case you changed something in the original maps it's highly recommended to use new filenames for the changed maps.

I agree with this on change download attributes. To play original unreal maps on ut, the players should have purchased and possess both cds.
