It does fill up the mailbox pretty quickly--but I hadn't seen this sort of volume before now!

I'll think about it.  The good thing about the request system is that I get a little feedback from users and occasionally I get to ask them for help.  i.e. someone asked for Icelandic subtitles, I sent them a link, but added that nobody's requested them before, so I wasn't sure if there weren't any problems.  Sure enough, a few days later, I get corrected files mailed back to me (thanks again, spaceghost).  In the most recent batch of PM's, I requested corrections for any errors in the Greek subtitles.  An anonymous download link and that sort of dialogue might never get started.

The quality of this project depends on recruiting people who can translate/correct the subtitles, because I really can't do that.  We've had a HELP_WANTED file in the last few versions, but this doesn't seem to have recruited anyone yet.  Recruiting straight from the people downloading the files may be the best way to go, as long as I think there are improvements to be made.
