Put it in uunet or some other archive site and let people who
want it get it there via uucp.  Mailing 530K may not cost the
person on the receiving end much, but it can be expensive to the
sites in the middle.

I maintain archives on camco available in the Seattle area to all
members of the Seattle Unix Users Group via uucp and would be
happy to add fsuucp to the list.
