Sounds like a real good idea.It should cut costs extremely for users
with net-access and makes access to the company-BBS's a little bit easier
'coz not so many users are logging into them.
For the companies it should be easier to find out which style of game the 
users favoured 'coz of the numbers of downloads for all the files.
I could be interesting for us users too,to see how many times one file
or the other was downloaded ,say,in a month or so.

But i doubt the companies will stick together for an ftp-site...

P.S.:How about a 'Upload of the Month'?
It could means both:1st - this game is REALLY buggy
		    2nd - this game is what we user want to play
