To upload or not to upload…

I’m not very well versed with the ethics of the FTP, so here’s a question I’m pondering:

Say you find a site with a large collection of books or documents that you feel belong on the FTP. Should you upload them even though the site is not likely to go down in the foreseeable future?

As long as the material isn't pure entertainment (movies/mp3s/pr0n) or warez (excepting scientific programs), it's welcome.

There are 173 GiB space left on the array... :)

Always upload! Alternatively, post the link to those books and the uploading will be shared. If it is subscription only, then make sure the files arent tagged (unlikely), then upload.
I have a similar collection, that, once processed will be uploaded.

I was thinking about just posting links, but these eventually get buried and useless.

Upload problem

While uploading some books I noticed that I was uploading a mispelt file. I wanted it to be correctly spelt so others could find it easily so I stopped it during the upload....however it is still there on the server. The file is called 'Psychomimetic Drugs Efron 1970' instead of the correct spelling psychotomimetic. Do not download it it is incomplete. The correctly named file has been uploaded sucessfully.

(while I'm on the subject the following are now available:
Psychedelics Encyclopedia- Stafford, Psychotomimetic Drugs Efron 1970, Hallucinogenic Drugs Brown 1972, Hallucinogens Neurochemical behavioral and clinical perspectives Jacobs_1984, Marijuana Botany - Robert Connell Clarke, Psilocybi Magic Mushroom Growers Guide -Oss & Oeric, Michael Starks - Marijuana Chemistry , Salvia Divinorum Growers Guide, Organic Synthesis - Smit)

I also have a rather large [~33Mb] copy of Stammets The Mushroom Cultivator if that is wanted.
