I think that Mediafire would not have a problem with gzip images of each part of a split image file. And you could flash them on K4. /K5) with:

zcat part1.gz part2.gz | dd of=/dev/mmcblk0p1 bs=4K

On a K3 you can concatenate the gzip files before (or after) extraction, before you flash them.

I suppose that we should replace the multi-part zip files with gzip files containing the split debricking repair image files. Of course, they should be split on 4K boundaries.

And mirroring to other sites is still a very good policy to prevent future problems.
