I might get to that eventually, but it is a lot of very hard work wrangling multiple engines / versions into working as one.

One major issue of adding download support is that compatibility is essentially unknowable. I test all the WADs in PortaDOOM and work out what engines, versions and settings are required.

I'm hoping that I can solicit some help at some point to build a few required tools:
1. A test-suite of WADs to verify what each engine is capable of (e.g. UDMF, ACS, DECORATE, ZSCRIPT etc)
2. A program that can scan a WAD and find out what features it uses.

Until then, I'm sticking with a curated approach otherwise it doesn't provide anything that people can already do just downloading random WADs off of /idgames.
