No image dumps, still? This is quite worrying. To say the least.
It would be faster to drive to the datacenter with a stack of hard drives (or at least 1x500gb drive) and have someone just copy the images over to the drive directly, than it would be to try to tar them up and have people retrieve them over http.
I don't know how long it would take to fetch a 300+ gigabyte file over http, but I certainly wouldn't want to do it... not without some distributed method of sharing the packets and bandwidth.
