ok, let me get this straight...
p.g. wants volunteers from d.p. to download a scan-set,
and then zip it, and then upload it to p.g. for mounting.
why doesn't p.g. just get it directly from d.p.?
here are the first 8 pages of "when it was dark":

that book just went into postprocessing at d.p.
i pulled those 8 pages over to my i.s.p. in mere seconds.
i could pull all the pages, if you needed a bigger demo...
but i assume you're smart enough to get it. (although
you weren't smart enough to have the idea originally.)
i used to think that p.g. stupidity was at its _peak_
when you wasted the time and energy of volunteers.
but you've topped yourselves. because now you want
to waste their _bandwidth_ as well! congratulations...
i can't wait to see what you come up with next.
oh right, i remember now. you want to "crowdsource"
_corrections_ to your files, without giving anyone the
scans that they would need to verify their corrections.
who knows how much of our time, energy, bandwidth,
and _frustration_ we'll burn up chasing that phantom?
i feel like yossarian, on first learning about catch-22.
