I've created a git repository at
https://sourceforge.net/p/rhelp/code/ci/master/tree/. I've used git before, so
that's what I chose. I had forgotten that sourceforge didn't have a download
all files command. I don't post files often.
About the semantics of "crash": Perhaps I'm showing my age here. It used to
be that programs crashed, bombed, etc. when they hit unanticipated errors.
These programs lived in a OS without an intermediary. Now, we have programs of
programs running within multiple applications on multiple servers with multiple
OSs. Since I'm not a programmer by profession, I've had little need to use
these constructs.

I would take one step back, and suggest that if any project has as many
scripts as this one, it should be put in an R package. You can
distribute that by building it into a tar.gz file and putting that
single file in a place where people can download it. Github and R-forge
work well for packages, and I assume other hosting services do too,
though I haven't used many.
People seem to be unreasonably reluctant to put their code into packages.
