 SB> Hobbes is about 3GB in size. That's about 5 CD's (if my math is

I look at it this way:  I currently pay the Pound Sterling equivalent of
$19.95 for an "Hobbes" CD-ROM from Walnut Creek that comprises two CDs.  A
real Hobbes CD-ROM set would be around twice the size of the Walnut Creek
effort, and up to date to boot.  So I'd be willing to pay anything up to twice 
the price for it.

I strongly suggest that you contact the Hobbes maintainer first.  I seem to
recall from reading the blurb on the site that he dislikes what he calls
"leech sites", which are sites that do mass FTPs of the archive without
warning him, and takes measures against them such as blocking their IP
addresses.  If you tell him what you are going to do beforehand, you can
probably arrange to do it at a time of lower traffic.
