3dmmfiles Mirroring

Hey Goat, since you're planning on rolling out an uploader at some point, I assume that means you're willing to host movies and mods on 3dmmfiles.com. At the moment, there is no community uploader and nobody really seems to be actively mirroring files anywhere. This is leading to most things being uploaded using things like Sendspace and Mediafire, inevitably leading to broken links. Funny Bones, for example, has been uploading (Mediafire) mirrors of a TON of mods over the past couple days, which is great, but in a week or whatever the limit is it'll all be gone again.

It'd really be helpful to have this stuff mirrored on 3dmmfiles, which I assume we can count on being around for a while. I don't expect you to do this much mirroring yourself, so I was wondering if you'd be open to granting a couple of users FTP access (or something comparable) to it until the uploader is up and running so they can start mirroring things? Since (I assume) nothing is hosted there except for files, it doesn't seem like there'd be a risk of anyone bringing down the site or anything. I'd be perfectly willing to do this, and I'm sure others would too.
