Hi Nikhil, I've moved the large files out of Git LFS and stored them as compressed .zip files instead. This was my first time using Git LFS and I didn't realize that it doesn't work in a straightforward way, apparently GitHub even charges for LFS bandwidth usage in excess of 1 GB [1]. So I have also removed the LFS files from the Git history, if anyone has pulled those files, you may need to re-clone the repo again. The README.md has been updated with details regarding the compressed files.
Also thanks for pointing this out! I would not have realized this problem otherwise.
