As NCBuckeye mentions, this is in violation of the RIM terms for many technical, legal and logical reasons. Some of which:
- ensures that a user downloads a non-tampered copy of the OS install from RIM itself
- contains "strong cryptography" which is legally barred from being transmitted from the US or Canada to some countries (anyone remember the old Netscape 128bit browser days?)
- allows them to track device/download statistics, something a commercial company needs to do
Of course there are more reasons, but this is just a glimpse as to why you don't see BlackBerry firmware widely hosted on sites other than the official ones (whether it be RIM directly or carrier hosted like T-Mobile).
