 Replying to [comment:5 rransom]:
 > The Linux TBBs are currently too large for even GMail users to obtain
 using GetTor.  Unfortunately, creating split packages for Linux and Mac
 will be harder than creating split packages for Windows -- I am not aware
 of any GUI software to un-split archives on Linux, so we would probably
 need to create our own split/join tools.

 Does it have to be GUI? One can easily split bundles with split(1) and put
 them together again using cat(1). Users on Linux or OS X should be able to
 run one single command to un-split the archive.
