Well its worth a shot. But my personal experience is you are more likely to lose access to those than to lose your downloaded copies. I don't believe I've ever lost anything more significant than old e-mail to disk failure (perhaps I back up more often than some people?), but as far as I recall I've had to open new accounts at places like this because of interface migrations, or e-mail address changes followed by loss of password cookies or something on three different occasions (once each at Baen, Amazon and SJG), and had to go through several rounds of e-mail exchanges to recover yet another (for the CSD).
