Not being associated with a university anymore, Google Scholar saves me about ~70% of the time too. However, many of those links aren't legitimate (i.e., licensed) you see a lot of links like http://dept.example.edu/~prof/BIO332/resources/paper.pdf .
Glad they're out there, but it would nice to not depend on grey-market servers.
I'm lowly author four on a paper published in an Elsevier journal (American Journal of Human Genetics). I submitted a request to redistribute it on my personal site. It took less than a week for them to grant it.
Easy to do, but I shouldn't have had to ask in the first place.
