The following are all the major known resources for rarities that are still accessible or being kept alive via various hosts.
I have ensured they all have backups if the worst comes to the worst, but for now:
Please try these before asking for re-posts and 'have you got's'.

Sorted in to eras and a comprehensive starting place for rare tracks by both Morrissey & The Smiths.
Skylarker's evolution of the collection has details here.
4.2 gig of goodness - download all or just individual tracks.
Hosted by myself.
