To my question what will happen after we have filled the disk completely

Shortage of disk space seems a general problem, but is there anybody who
has some spare disk space and who is willing to allow people to retrieve
files from his site (preferably through FTP) ? We might then put files there,
because I think it would be a real pity to delete (e.g.) games. (Commented)
game scores always keep their value.
 
Any suggestions or ideas ?
