Hi, I have created http://www.kicadlib.org with the unique target of share Kicad libraries, I dispose of rather big space. There is no advertising while I pay something for the hosting. My dream (in the future) would be to do something very friendly, per example the user should browse the libraries graphically and get the wanted module. But for that I need time and internet competences and I have not many time and not yet enough internet competences until now. But a momentary solution is to use the search facilities based on a text list (html). So, if you send to me a library and a list of included modules in a separate file I can place it on the site. The visitor can type a keyword and he quickly see the libraries containing this keyword, it can then download the library. The libraries should not be too big and organized by themes. I can give 1 or 2 hours of my time per week to this job, but no more. Note that, if you send files to me, GMAIL sometime block the files with .LIB extension (even zipped) so is preferable to rename the .LIB files to .LI or .LAB and I restore the .LIB extension when I publish the library.
