1. I have virtually everything D&D until AD&D 2nd edition. There are no
mega torrents that have everything that I have, and I've probably spent
2 waking weeks over the last year tracking most things down.
2. Alas, the collector's guide has a few gaps, but it's a good start.
3. Can anyone suggest a better app than Unison for OSX for upping
files? If so, I can dump my TSR D&D collection--I'll have to check, but
i'd guess it's 25gb or so.
4. I'd suggest that we don't OCR in that OCR is hit and miss, even with
Abbyy. I personally prefer to have high res base scans that people can
OCR and edit themselves; the bane of my digital collecting is finding a
poorly OCRed document of which there is no non OCRed version.
