if your fastdl is set up right, gmod should automatically do that.

what my FastDL does is that whenever a new player joins my server, it forces them to download ALL of the maps. This makes the loading time of my server skyrocket. I think it would be better for them to download each map whenever the have to PLAY that map.

FastDL hasn't ever done that to me...
You're on XenonServers, I think, right?

Yeah, you don't need to do that.

Just leave it alone. Maps automatically download.

The only time you add a workshop lua is if it's a workshop item for lua/models/sounds.
Maps by default, if on the fastdl host, will download when you're on that map.
Make sure to bz2 compress them. (Find any 'Source map bz2' tutorial)
