Is there a particular reason that you don't want to just post a link to the FIRST and NASA web site that have already made the materials available? This is a perfectly acceptable way of making the materials available on-line, and it avoids the hassles of copyright concerns. It also avoids have to copy everything over to your server and sucking up server space for what are then essentially duplicate files.

So are you saying all of us whom supplied mirrors during the first few weeks to help leviate burden to FIRST's servers and help in the speed of accessing should remove all files?

I find it handy as I can access the files all in one place and dont have to click through 10 links to find what I want.
