I looked at all of them. Some are too big in size ( 3 Mb+ ) which will lead to a long download & which is not the best idea. ( Conormation from senior admins on what the max size is for a fluent download ? )
I've added them on the test server & they'll be tested.

Size depends on what size they bzip to as this is what will be downloaded.
The WCS server is popular so it could afford some larger maps. Around the 20/25 mb
UNzipped would be a fair 'maximum' type of map size - very few are more than this (xmas_nipperhouse is 27mb unzipped and ze_death_star_escape_v4_2 for the zombie server is 50+mb unzipped!).
A good average medium is 10-15mb UNzipped for a reasonably speedy download and 3-6mb unzipped for a fast dl but most people have fast enough connections nowadays.
For reference, xmas_nipperhouse is 27mb unzipped but compresses to 13mb when bzipped - that depends on the map though. 13-15mb bzipped is a good maximum for downloads.
At the end of the day, if the maps good, put it on anyway - it might be a pain for people to download it in the first place, but once its done, its done.
