Hosting images on Google drive prevents programmatic access #21

Hello!

Thank you for this important dataset.

I'm trying to programmatically download the image .zip folders from your Google drive links, but because they are >50Mb, Google Drive doesn't allow programmatic download access to the links (because it wants to prompt the user about a virus warning). I've searched and tried many workarounds for this issue with Google Drive, but none of them worked for me.

To avoid this, I suggest you use a different file hosting provider, or create a GitHub 'release' on this repo, which will let you upload large binary files that can then be programmatically downloaded.

As an interim fix, I've mirrored the Padding=0.25 files with a release at this public repo.

Thank you,
