A note on licenses. "Free to download" and "free to re-host" are different things. We only mirror files whose license explicitly allows redistribution (Creative Commons, public domain, open hardware licenses) and we keep the author credit and license that came with them. NC means you can't sell what you make from it. SA means anything you derive must carry the same license. ND means share it as-is, don't remix it. Found something here that shouldn't be? Tell us and it comes down.
