Hi Emmanuel,
I am seeding a torrent of all the gutenberg epubs without images.

http://braddock.com/~braddock/expire/gutenberg-epub-201306.torrent

I have very limited upload bandwidth.  Lets start with the epubs
without images and see how it goes uploading across my DSL.  I've also
got epubs with images, html with and without images.

torrent size is about 7GB.
