There's a lot of great stuff there, but there's a pretty stingy download limit.  I'll have to visit the page daily for the next week or two and gather what I need.

(Almost?) everything on there appears to be ripped off from here.

Nice to have it mirrored, but it's not unique.

What we need is more people scanning manuals and documents, not just copying and reposting them.
 
More amazing is the amount of people who buy into it is something different.

Sorry to bust the party, but am wondering about the legality of these scans at http://www.diystash.com/downloads/other/amiga and http://amiga-manuals.npage.de/willkommen.html. Are they sufficiently old to have lost their copyright status in the US and Europe?

Just wondering - I know a lot of these titles are hard to come by nowadays on sites like eBay or Alibris - so preservation of the knowledge in them is a priority.
2x A1000, 2x A2000, 1x A3000, 4x A1200, 3x A500, 1x CDTV, 1x CD32, 2x Pegasos II, 1x EFIKA

If someone can prove they hold the copyright and wish to defend it, I am sure the content will be removed promptly
