I cant really see why you would want to do this because it would force a user to require an internet connection and probably lag up the game as textures were streamed off the Net.
Just download the textures and stick em in the game folder :-)
If you want to do updates for a game that can be downloaded off the internet you could consider using a hyperlink to the url for the user to download the content and over write the existing images?

I think that those people will have to upload textures to your server where the game will be;) like avatars on this forum and then somehow (but I don't know how ) store textures and read it from location and use in game. Maybe bmap_load + bmap_for_entity In real time is almost impossible without huge lags
