This is different. If a person upload a file that you do not download. Why should you feel thankful just because you have the potential to download it? What if you do not want the book?
And even if you download it I feel that it is wrong to base these kind of interaction on being thankful. Being thankful is passive. A better thing is to contribute something back to the shared project of making PD books available in good editions. And you do that because you feel this makes the world a better place and not because you are thankful.
