Apologies, I only saw this today. A MEGA/GDrive/OneDrive link would be much more helpful than a magnet download, it'd mean you won't have to have your computer active for others to download it. Anyway, I just put this on qBitTorrent as I'm writing this. I'll keep it in the background until I get a ping it downloaded. EDIT: It downloaded! Thanks a lot. I'll make a GDrive link for everyone's convenience now. That one's not an issue, thankfully! I can simply custom-craft a special .WA file that omits the 2015-2022 redist. It's why I asked only for the 18.4.30 Windows updates part.
The only reason I mirror this old update pack is for people like me who want to install Windows 7 32-bit on say, an Athlon XP/Pentium 3 or even a Athlon Thunderbird, all of which lack SSE2. Obviously on CPUs that have SSE2 or are 64-bit especially you should use the latest update pack, this is more of a helping hand for retro hardware enthusiasts like myself Semi-related, I do wonder when we'll ever get a variant of UpdatePack7R2 for Vista or 8.1...
While normally I'd agree with you, I don't see this as a reason to deny people the choice to do such, especially given dual Socket 370/462 systems can be very adept. If someone wants to run Windows 7 on an Athlon Thunderbird, I say let them. Sure XP is lighter and therefore more fit for the task, but what if I slimmed down my Windows 7 version via NTLite? I had a pretty good time with a super slimmed version of Win7 and a Pentium 3 Coppermine, and it's why I'm hosting a mirror of UpdatePack7R2 18.4.30 in the first place.
7 is really, really heavy on pre-SSE2 hardware, even if you remove stuff with NTLite. This also is very off topic so I'll leave it at that.

Just a note for myself and others: If you have enabled UTF-8 as default codepoint for legacy programs under Control Panel's Regional Settings on Windows 10 and above, dragging ISO into the UpdatePack directly will result in a error code 83 so make sure to turn that off first.
