Have you considered simply creating a tar ball with all the .deb files, emailing it to a few people who are willing to host the files and/or put it on bitorrent? Then those of us could move those files into our /var/cache/apt/archives directory and install.

Maybe a tarball for chinook at least. I'm trying to download the files to do this but its impossible even at this moment. The maemo servers never really did recover from any other OS release either, instead the 'solution' was kind members hosting the files elsewhere and/or on a torrent. I know I downloaded mine from a link someone provided here.
