Hi Nikhil, I've moved the large files out of GitHub LFS and into the repository as compressed .zip files. This was my first time using Git LFS and I didn't realise it wasn't straightforward to download files with Git LFS (apparently GitHub even charges for bandwidth used in excess of 1GB [1]). The README.md has been updated with these details. I've also removed the files from the Git history, if anyone has pulled the files you may need to clone the repository from scratch otherwise there may be merge/pull conflicts.
Thanks for pointing this out, I would not have noticed this issue otherwise. Regards, Vivek [1] - https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/working-with-files/managing-large-files/about-storage-and-bandwidth-usage#tracking-storage-and-bandwidth-use PS: Apologies if you see this mail getting duplicated. I think I tried sending a mail on Sunday but got a message saying that approval was pending before the mail could be sent. I don't find any indication of an approval status so that might have been a bug.
