Where could someone receive these? I am aware there was a torrent available. I retrieved the torrent file from the Keep on the WaybackMachine. As of the time of this post, there are thirteen peers, but no seeds. I heard of someone wishing to upload them so their website for easier access, but I do not know if that actually happened, as there is no evidence. I only wish I had known that these existed earlier. Is there any way I could still obtain these files?
I hope this can serve myself and anyone else under similar circumstances.

Many years ago I obtained a DVD from Komag. Apart from the 3D modeling program ( which I think is an illegal copy ) I could upload the other files to some cloud space but regarding Thief 3 and the editor, all patches, textures and tweaks are still available on ttlg ( presumably more up-to-date versions than those on the DVD ). So what remains from my point of view is the directory "extras" with fonts, videos, music etc. . I would leave it to you if that's of interest.
Kind regards,
Jörg

I have the files from the torrent at home, I should probably upload them to Southquarter one of these days. Sounds like something that might take forever though.
I've always wondered why Komag kept the hosting going for shadowdarkkeep.com but not for keepofmetalandgold.com. There's far less need for a T3/TDM download site, especially with TDM's built in mission downloader.

I definitely do have all updated patches necessary to run the games on my machine(as they are still openly available here), so I have no pressing need for those. But the main of interest to me from these DVDs were fan missions and these "extras". I would appreciate it if you could upload these files, but of course, I understand if you do not wish to. Thank you for the offer regardless.
Excellent! Thank you, this satisfies most (or possibly all?) of the Thief and Thief 2 fan missions I was looking for.

I understand your delay in uploading those files. 33 gigabytes is still an extreme amount of data to upload even by today's standards. But as internet connections keep improving, that problem may be irradiated in the near future. Of course, if you know of any other way for me to obtain the
full content from the DVDs, please notify me. Thank you for the input.
I agree that, as of now, there is much more need for thekeepofmetalandgold.com than there is for shadowdarkkeep.com. But sadly, judging by the amount of time that the Keep has been down, I do not see it coming back anytime soon.

I'm uploading the content of "Extras", will take some time ( ~ 1 GB ). I will publish the link when it's done..
So here's the link : (
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BzTSoEXhX0baODFKUlRHcE1hc2c) https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BzTSoEXhX0baODFKUlRHcE1hc2c
I will keep it up for some days. Perhaps Brethren can upload the files to Southquarter.

Thanks again, I now have the files. There are some interesting things on there.
I can also create a mirror for others, if you wish.

Well, thanks for your kind response. If you wish to create a mirror, feel free to do so.
Kind regards,

might be nice to have them set up on a streaming service... like those you "seed"... I think its called "torrent"
