I uuencoded it on my home computer just to see how big it would be.  It
ran to 51 1000 line files for the DOOM1_0.ZIP file.  Presumably the 1.2
release will be slightly larger, mabye going up to as high as 60.

I don't think posting it would be very practical.  A lot of people's
spoolers would cut them off from parts of it if people didn't download it
right away, and it would need to be posted at least once a week for people
to be able to get it.  Probably not worth the effort.

I might be willing to post it all as one gigantic file, but posting 60
separate parts just isn't worth it.
