I guess I should explain it better. There would have to be a screening process. Not just access for anybody to put anything up for Chrissakes. I KNOW better than that. There are zipped AutoCad and other files being shared FROM TIME TO TIME, that are requested in the forums. The guy with the requests, submits the file for RCU approval, and they host it on their servers for anyone in the forums to download. This could be limited to files that AREN'T multimedia. Videos would have to be excluded.

My thinking is that there is software that scans websites to accumulate email addresses for spamming. The guys that request these files post their emails in plain site for anyone and this software to see. It would also make it easier for the guy who is giving the file to just post a link to it, instead of emailing it to 15 + people.
