according to the automatic translation script I run with my browser it appears to be a darkfate archive.

It just so happens that I updated my personal collection of fan missions for Thief Gold and Thief 2 earlier today and then I decided to check what's going on in the TTLG forums (if anything) - and I found this thread.
Thanks to my OCD I have over the years kept what I consider a very well curated and comprehensive collection of (almost) all TG and T2 FMMs. You know, just in case I ever decide that I want to play them all...The collection should be pretty complete, since at various times I scoured several of the available hosting sites for all published missions; so, as long as the missions were hosted on those sites they should be in my collection.
I'd be happy to share these collections, but I don't know anything about file uploads or hosting. They are pretty big (TG: 304 files, 4.0GB; T2: 1045 files, 43.8GB), so it would be best if I could upload them somewhere to share. So, if anyone can give me detailed instructions on how I can do that then I'd be happy to help!

A long, long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, there was a user named KoMaG, who would send out CDs or perhaps DVDs with almost every fan mission on them. Historians think it was about six or seven CDs back at that time.:idea:
Years came and went by, and then there was one day when KoMaG announced he would not continue that service anymore. The internet had been become more than just a reality by that time - it was a broad and glorious data highway, and one could rather easily download the majority of fan missions from the net. Game developers likewise went from putting their software onto a CD/DVD to offer them for download (after the interested player paid the price for that game). And so ended the time of little round plastic discs being sent by postal service, and the great and glorious times of downloading everything on one's own had finally begun.:cheeky:
Unfortunately, the FMs rarely came in bundles or campaigns together, so players had to download them almost one by one. And so it went on to this day, and people don't have to pay for little plastic discs anymore, but have to start lots of downloads instead. Cheaper, but more labour is required.:sweat:
- THE END -
I still have mine. :D

I unpacked the archive - it is appears to be nearly complete. it's missing a few english translations but other than it's a good archive to download.

Oh, I like reading that, I've always done it that way.
I downloaded and collected files from all well-known and lesser-known sites at regular intervals.

Thank you for confirming,
I am currently uploading these to Archive.org, but it will most likely take a day or two, due to Internet Archive's slow upload speeds.
Will post a link here once it is done.

It is now uploaded. I had to re-zip the files into .7z, for some reason Internet Archive did not like the files as is. I haven't touched any of the FM's though.

As soon as my file checks are done I will be seeding the torrent permanently.
