Except for Nokia doing exactly this, i.e. hosting exactly those flashing tools and images, on maemo.org for years and passed them to techstaff in a messed up state. When techstaff fixed the mess and thus made tabletsdev.maemo.org and thus the proxifarm tablets-dev.nokia.com work again, suddenly this wasn't legal anymore. Quite sane!
There once been a semi-official mirror of all those files, run by trusted community members and checked for correctness by council, but HiFo did a hell of a job to alienate, scare and threaten those who ran that server, instead of trying to do all they could to keep those guys providing that awesome service to whole community. Now suggesting to link to random non-trustworthy 3rd sources is kinda... :-S

Not exactly what we wanted but also not that much of an issue since nobody will stop you from posting links to external sources like done here.

You're kidding us, are you? Links to random untrusted external "illegal" possibly rogue non-authentic and for sure non-maintainable non-stable non-persistent sources as a valid substitute for nokia or at least maemo.org providing the most essential tools and files? :eek: :confused:
