We don't have the rights to redistribute the quake2 data files, however, if you download the full game, or own it, you can modify the code to unpak and convert the commercial full-game files.

The code contains the single player shareware quake levels, and multiplayer.

Minor clarification: The code doesn't literally contain the shareware levels (we don't have the right to do that either) -- there is a script that will download and convert them for you.

And I've confirmed that it works on the full game pak as well (though conversions won't work, as q2 game dlls are native code). Time to dig up that old copy of Q2!
