Well, I was tossing some ideas around, and I thought of putting a link to
ftp.povray.org as the file library link. But, it's outdated. Heavily. For
example, the most recent version of Moray on there is 2.5. That's quite a
bit out of date. In fact, most of the files deal with Pov-Ray 2.2 or
earlier.

I also thought of doing something that I see the larger sites, like
PlanetQuake , etc. have done, and that's have their files hosted by Walnut
Creek CDrom. (www.cdrom.com). Unfortunately, much as I'd love to think I
have a popular site, it's not that big. I doubt that they would consider it.
I'm gonna write them an email right away, but I'm not hoping for much.
(also, Chris, if you read this, please let me know if this would be out of
line.)

Now, I need to save bandwidth. If I could find someone willing to give me
LOTS of space (twysted.net, before I took it down the first time, was up to
85 megs in size.) on a fast connection just for file storage, I'd be
eternally grateful. Tripod, GeoCities, Xoom, etc. are not options, as they
specifically say they don't want file archives.

In the file library, I plan on putting everything downloadable into it.
Patches, include files, textures, programs, everything.

If anyone can help, please let me know. Also, money _is_ an object. I have
no spare cash, so if it's gonna cost me a lot of money, then I can't do it.
