I'll try to set up a system that would enable any registered user to log in and both upload and download materials from the website. It's not about money - I'll do it pro bono. One very serious problem with this type of file repository that I can see is viruses. Systems of this type cannot scan files for viruses; a file that has been uploaded with a virus will then become a source of infection. I'll have to look into it - there must be a solution.
