ctan can and will take the software. we can't justify holding a
significant archive of examples.
using ftp.dante.de to offer a separate server that for music is indeed
possible, but the site isn't terribly well-endowed with maintenance
people, and i wouldn't want to see their efforts diluted by having
still more stuff piled on to them.
the fact is that an archive the size of the gmd music one is pretty
small by today's standards; and i doubt that the data rate out of it
is likely to strain almost any reasonable candidate's bandwidth (we
have 1gbit/s to the backbone, for example). the killer nowadays is
_always_ people. the archive would require a motivated person or two,
who have at least some spare brain-cycles to do the work.
