It's a lot of stuff, including psd's and Photoshop related items. They're only usefull if you re-save (and slice) for web. I think he just doesn't want anyone else hosting these files. The required email? TenminuteMail does the job just fine. 30 mb's? Could be but i don't know why anyone clicking on a link to 5 gig would care about 30 mb ;-)

That's one of the worst excuses for a bloated page I've ever heard. Luckily bit-torrent site operators don't share that view.

It's no excuse as I didn't build the page. I have no idea why it's 30 mb and it would have been very easy for me to share the file otherwise, but the only thing the creator asked for is a link to his (bloated) site which is only fair.
"Download" requires an e-mail address. Terms say "By downloading this bundle, you agree to receive an email from us, and to be eventually subscribed to our newsletter." Mailinator works. :)

Lawyer speak probably, but to me that makes using any files in websites hosted by myself impossible.
