The problem with you doing this is that you put some of the people whos files
you are directly linking to in direct violation of their ISP's TOS. For
example XOOM and geocities directly forbid linking directly to files on
pages they provide space for. You run the risk of making it so that
these page providers will pull the accounts of the people whos files you
are linking to.
