It's not a can of worms - it's one happy guy and one bitter guy. I checked, and the bitsavers mirror is (roughly) 300gb, and that includes the "bits" part. Otherwise it's about 230gb.
The manuals collections on archive.org include bitsavers, but also a few other major locations and sets, and likely gets into the terabyte range. A re-curated remix of all the materials is always welcome, but if it's an arbitrary pile, it's not adding much.
