Hmm. The problem is bandwidth, not storage. But if the pdfs are kept
on many different servers, that would divide the bandwidth as well,
wouldn't it? Obviously the admin involved is the tricky bit in this
case.
As far as mucking in goes, I've got space on two university servers, on
which bandwidth really shouldn't matter at all and the connection is
stupendously fast. Total of c. 70Mb available. Also approximately
100Mb available at www.worldtraveller.f9.co.uk, but that comes with
quite severe bandwidth restrictions.
