"Hey I can mirror these, how long could it possibly take?"
Yeah there's 900+ files totaling several gigabytes, Archive.org has super slow download speeds and because we're dealing with high resolution images, it takes, like, 10 minutes for this machine to compress each PNG (and we totally want to do this - there are big space savings to be made). PNGGauntlet is multi-threaded of course so it wouldn't take 6.25 days, but it's still double digit hours at full throttle. And I don't know exactly what I'm looking at because I don't own the game.
Ideally this needs handling by someone with more patience, time to spare, and a better rig. If you have the game on PC it might be quicker to rip these yourself than wait for the download.
