In all seriousness, if you work so hard on something, and you don't want others to "leech" it, then why put it on a public site? You are making a very stupid mistake if you think someone is going to copy it, and then do what they please with it. Yeah, I really appreciate that someone would spend their time doing something that is painstaking, and then "taking credit" for their hard work. But I really am annoyed by the fact that they'll put all that work into something, mainly to receive kudos from others for their dedication, and then dangle their work out in front of you and say "you can look, but you can't touch".
Whether people like it or not, the internet is pretty much a community of people that like to stockpile things. Some people collect mp3's, some xbox games, some roms, some pictures, some Mugen characters, etc. Why not share the wealth, and help prevent someone the trouble of going through the process of collecting a "complete set" of something? The resources are all there, but not always in one place. Someone will get them all eventually, why bother trying to prevent that? If you're so worried about that, then you wouldn't be placing it out in the public to begin with.
Xbox emulators and applications are a perfect example of how "sharing the wealth" makes for a more presentable and complete experience. If programmers decided that others could "look but not touch" do you think that XBMC would be the all emcompassing program that it is? Compiling resources generally gets the public to recognize things they would've probably never heard of or used before. You really think someone would be playing some obscure NES games if they weren't part of a collection? Hell, if I was so proud of my work that I spent all of my time working on, I'd love knowing that it is a "essential" part of someone's collection.
I'm not trying to kill off a scene, although it seems to me that the scene is killing itself. I've been into emulation for over 10 years now, and I've never heard of Mugen before. And just as I find it and get into it, I find that it has been slowly dieing off for 3-4 years except for a few survivors. Think it would really be that way if you could download a "Street Fighter 2 Pack" instead of hopping a few thousand sites and finding a few links that aren't dead? In a few years time do you think that the already old web pages with dead links will still be around for someone to enjoy someone else's hard work? I think not.

Guybird, was that error on the xbox? Im no linux expert but i think that might be a problem outside mugen itself.
It's a JoyToKey error; it says that but I just didn't feel like typing out the entire error. It's strange because the controls work fine in the menus, and in Training mode, but when I go to Arcade it gives that error.
