Oops. This makes me wonder, where all those big files are. I would
think that only sound- and video-files can add to such a big mass, but
the community folder on pd.org just has a small handful of files. This
brings up the question, if everything on pd.org is going on okay, I
mean, I hope, that there's no off-topic filesharing going on under the
hood.

I don't think, that this is happening, but it might be good to think
of countermeasures for things like this *in case* it happens.

ciao
