If you want, i can PM you an FTP username and password so you can upload them when you are done imaging them

Yeah, that would be good, but I'm not sure when I'll get to the rest of the disks or if its even worth it as most of them are partial sets (such as having only disks 1 and 7 of a 7.5 install)

I still have a few more to do though.

Code:
You ought to make use of the Terminal.
Put all of the .img files into a folder in the root directory of your hard drive. We'll name the folder "image"

Now, open the terminal and type this command:

Code:

gzip --best -r /image

In less than a second, all of the .img files will be gzipped and can then be safely transmitted about the Internet. Bonus-- users of every major computer platform will be able to extract .gz files, as opposed to the formats mentioned earlier, which are rather rare on systems other than the Mac.

My G3 runs 9.2.2.
