Yes, quite unfortunate.

The firmwares are intentionally kept out of the standard download zone.

I'll talk to some people and see if there is a way we can shift things
around, to make slight improvements.

However, I don't see how anything we do would fix your problem.  Whatever
new other storage location we select, it won't contain the files you need,
because you would not have copied the entire pile of firmwares to that place.
