Classic Shell mirror downloading

It's not much of a deal right now, as I gather there are a couple months to go before Ivo pulls the plug on his site.

Hello.I see there is a mirror of Thank you coddec.It will come in handy when the original site goes down forever.If one downloads an old user made .skin, .skin7 or .zip from this Github Archive,for example, "Metro Glass.skin", the download file becomes "fi...
