That's not too big, but probably not suitable as an attachment here... :)

I have tested transferring files via wetransfer.com and it worked well.
Perhaps you can try that and send it to me personally ([email protected])?
That's a solution to get _me_ the files, but if you want to offer them
for public download, the directory at OSDN sounds like a good choice.

In general any kind of weirdly formatted or "broken but has to be accepted
anyway" image files (TIFF or otherwise) are actually interesting. I'm usually
trawling through bug reports for different projects looking for such examples.
The best suite of manually crafted files I have seen is one for BMP by
Jason Summers: https://github.com/jsummers/bmpsuite

I think libtiff does something similar for its testing. Are your scripts
publicly available?
