I dont know about map packs, but I like to hit the server and look for games that use maps I dont have. When I click to join it downloads. If the game is over by the time I join, Oh Well.
Try too look for maps that LOTS of people are playing. Those are the most popular for a reason. You can sort by map name to make it easier.
Go for a relatively low ping if possible. You're less likely to lose it at 99% downloaded.

There really aren't any map packs worth getting, most servers don't use more than 2 custom maps so far. Assault, iceworld, maybe rats... that's it.
