Many thanks for doing this. This is invaluable! In 2013, I tried to get CDs of the Maharashtra Gazette because of the some of the same issues with their website that you have mentioned. I have quite a story to tell. (I intended to use the copy of the gazette to maintain references on several articles on Wikipedia that had suffered link rot.)
