No need to recreate the paths every time. Makes changing stuff easier in the long run
- `curl` can save the output file directly. This is always better than using the shell - Use the more compatible `tar` notaion - Specify compression during unpacking in `tar` (again for compatibility and best practice) - No need to iterate over the file tree several times. `find` can match multiple patterns. - The `-prune` option instructs `find` to not decend into the dirs that match, but to keep it in the file list. - No need to to pipe anything into xargs.`find` can execute commands by itself. Using the plus notation keeps the program invocations of rm to a minimum.
- `-9` means best compression - `-e` means extreme mode, which makes it try even hard to compress better - `-T0` uses all available cores to ensure a speedy compression - `-v` enables verbose mode so the progress can be followed This additonal compression reduces the file size by amlost andother MiB!

Quite a few changes were done.
I split them into fairly small commits so the changes are easier to follow. Each commit has a message explaining the details.
Feel free to squash the commits, if you're not a fan of many small commits, but I ask you to keep the explanations.
All changes are up for discussion and I'm aware some are certainly more opionion based than others.
My main motivation was to use the better compression and to properly use find. The other changes were added just on top because I like to tidy up bash scripts I touch.
