James:
    Probably you should break it up into logical sections:  the executable
modules, the DVI stuff organized by printer type, the fonts by style, inputs
and formats as separate pieces, etc.  Typically, people usually don't need to
download all of the DVI stuff, just what they need for their printer(s). The
bigest part is the font pixel files (.pk* I think).  This alone is close to 5
meg. The only thing I see doing here is break it up into managable pices in a
more or less arbituary fashion (i.e. 10 files of a .5 meg each or something). 
These files won't compress much (they are like binaries - the bits are too
"randomized" for the compression programs to get much of a handle on repeated
patterns.
