I think the most refreshing bit about this, besides the fact that it's a goldmine of free information (thanks!), is the fact that it's all laid out on one html page. It makes me think of what websites used to be like before ads and crazy designs took over.

Especially since this collection isn't going to change, I'm confused as usual why they don't include a 'download them all' torrent link. Torrents are wonderful for things like this - reduced hosting costs, often significantly faster download rates, and nearly perfect resumeability even in cases of extremely bad internet connections. Win/win/win but very few do it.

Offering a torrent could be legally interpreted as giving up copyright for the work(s) offered by the torrent.

How could there be anything legal related to the method of file transfer?
