"One other word of caution, not to be pessimistic, but to hopefully help avoid a problem. You will want to consider a way to monitor or control what is uploaded." Very good point, but very easy to address, I would think: -Uploads would be to a depository folder that is NOT downloadable from, only uploadable. All items in here to be individually examined by site admin(s) and moved one by one to the publicly accessable download directory after its determined its not a warez item Will slow down accessability of newly uploaded items only as long as it takes to pre-examine them, but seems well worth it to protect the public freebie archive concept!
