Perhaps it's just waaay to late at night but I have no idea what you said theducks! "former PG books"? "loyal MR members"? "MR uploads section"?
My repackaged Gutenberg sits at at 25,693 books in either txt or epub format. It appears txt is slightly smaller than epub so I left ,those as-is. All of the pdf and rtf are converted to epub.
As for metadata, there isn't a huge amount. Title, author, and the ebook number assigned by Gutenberg in the ID. There are also a number of duplicate titles because they are filed under different ebook numbers. Find Duplicates sees 731 titles but I'm still doing some polishing.
The primary reason I am offering it is it took over 4 days of downloading following their robot rules (1 download per 2 seconds) and it contained a lot of misc...and I mean a LOT of misc. They are now, contrary to the description on their website, including audio books compressed in the stream so there is no way to filter them before download. All of the scanned books, audio books, etc. were removed which cut the total size down considerably.
