Earlier this week there was a tar.gz with the following properties:

uhd-images_003.008.000-release.tar.gz 24794288 SHA256

Now the tar.gz has been removed, I'm hoping this was an accident.  Can
you restore the file? I have the original if you need it.  I very much
dislike seeing these kinds of bugs :-(
