yup.
all.
of.
them.
and more..
every firmware ever done...stored away for that rainy day.
lotsa stuff.
There are only 3 issues preventing me from posting here...
A- the still possible..probable... proprietary nature of them...
B- there is sooo much I don't have space for it all in a cloud drive. It's about 77 GB of truly the finest . It is a bit much for my poor cloud drive . So whatever I can put up is limited timewise and I have to delete to upload new stuff...or rather the same stuff I just uploaded a while ago but had to delete to upload for someone else.
I think a proper hosting or permanent section somewhere at tmo (better idea) would be better than this if the proprietary nature of some of it could be cleared up.
3- I am more than glad to be of help to my friends ...but I do admit the time it takes is beginning to be a bit more than a sliver of time preparing stuff... every time an individual needs specific things it's a chunk of my day...
an alternative would be welcome.

addendum:
yea ...that is the trick biketool.
finding a secure method ..the files (whether proprietary or not) can safely be accessed without it getting shutdown or the site being ...um..impounded?...shut down as a consequence of the rabid nature of governments at this time.

Even with torrenting...it is reliant on a consistent number of people having the files available to seed so other people can download them. Otherwise it will be REAL inconsistent and spotty as to availability.
Perhaps if everybody contributed to seeding a small bit...a portion of the vast 77gb treasure vault ...say a gb or two per person..spread out and balanced ...regardless of those needing n900 or n8x0 or 770 files would never worry about availability ...it would be viable. I think an anonymous poll would be a good start. If we get enough members from the 770 aaallll the way up to the 900 who concur that this is a good idea and will be willing to seed in perpetuity ...then this is a viable permanent option. And I have no problem investing the time preparing and uploading everything...knowing I'll not have to do it in bits and pieces like (here it comes ...another one of my terrible analogies ) handing out floatation-jackets from the life-boat after the ship has gone down...but instead simply pull up the cruise ship and have everyone come aboard for Appies and dancing on the Lido Deck.
