IMSLP is urgently looking for people with servers who are willing to host a public mirror of IMSLP. If you are interested, please e-mail me (feldmahler {at} imslp.org) with the disk space/bandwidth limits. Server must be in Canada or the US. Reasonable compensation may be given if requested. --Feldmahler
Update: Thanks for all the responses! Since several people asked, I will say here that IMSLP requires ~50GB of space, and ~2.5TB/mo of bandwidth.

Misc. Comments
This is one hell of a confusing piece (probably due to my lack of knowledge of it). From the "official" Webern site (www.antonwebern.com), Op.5 is listed as "Five movements for string quartet", but a Google search reveals that sometimes it is called "Five movements for string orchestra". Since the file I have here indicates Op.5 and the orchestration indicates a string section, I'm going to go with the second title, and put this page in the "piece for string section" category. Anyone who is better versed in Webern than I please correct this decision if it is a mistake. Thanks.

And about 10 minutes after I posted that I get another version of Op.5 in the string quartet configuration -_-. I'm going to say that Webern himself orchestrated Op.5 (since I don't see another name) after initially writing it as a string quartet piece, since the two are clearly the same piece just orchestrated differently. Anyone who has more info about this please share it with us :)

Webern wrote "Five Movements for String Quartet" (or "Five Pieces") (op. 5) in 1909. He then revisited the work in 1928, arranging it for string orchestra. He then became dissatisfied with this arrangement and wrote another version in 1929, which was first performed in Philadelphia in 1930.
