I think having a upload faclity is much needed, XOOPS is not only be used for XOOPS development portal, where you can link the downloads to someother servers. Rather XOOPS is going to be used for various things. Take for example if a student has prepared a power point presentation and wants it to share with rest of the world, using XOOPS he would not be able to upload his file. there are many cases where the user wont have any webspace for himself but has contents / data that he could share with others, under such a situation it would be a tough call to ask the user to hunt out some freespace and then upload there and give a link here.
