If you don't need them versioned, but need to redistribute them why not
place them on a standard network share and use a program like rsync
(Primarily Unix, but available on windows) which only transmits files
that have changed and is also good ad only transfering the parts of the
files that have changed.
An alternatives for Windows, if you like a nice GUI, is Syncback which
is very configrable and also provides optimisations to reduce the amount
of data transferred.
An alternative approach not using SVN, but it may suit this use case
better.
