Lots of nice links there, thanks. There needs to be a CMBAN, a Comprehensive Math Book Archive Network. It would fight link rot, allow an author to upload versions as they change and give a blurb as well as version notes, and allow a downloader to know if the book is free or Free, etc. There are some sites that archive some sets but I know of no site that tries to be comprehensive.

Maybe AcademicTorrents might be used. Is it still a thing?

Perhaps a combination of LaTeX/PreTeXt and Open Monograph Press [1] will do :D The idea is to allow authors using LaTeX/PreTeXt to pipeline the document+sources to a repository (think GitHub Pages for math textbooks), as well as preserving existing free content whose sources are lost (e.g., old out-of-print books).

Seems they should be up on project Gutenberg as well as a category on archive.org.
