OK i figured it out. I unzipped it and re-zipped it with high compression and reduced the size down to 14.9GB. It is zipped in parts of 1GB for a total of 15 parts (files)
LMK if you can download it. I will leave this up indefinitely. Download and upload at your own risk, this is originally downloaded right from Audi Canada. I assume no responsibility for whatever happens.
You can download the latest map updates here and then install them in your vehicle using an SD card or USB stick. You can download and install updates as many times as you like. The maps are generally updated every six months.
Installing a new map update overwrites the map package currently installed on your vehicle’s MMI. You can find out which version is currently installed on the MMI as well.
You can also have the map update carried out by your Audi partner (this may incur costs).
Installation instructions
To carry out the map update manually, you first need an empty memory device, such as a USB stick or an SD card. 32GB memory with FAT32 formatting is recommended. Please make sure in advance which type of memory is suitable for your vehicle. To do this, look for the relevant port on the centre console or in the glove compartment.
Insert the empty storage medium into your computer or a card reader.
Use the drop-down menu in the “Map update” section in myAudi to select the navigation map you want to download. Depending on availability, you can choose between individual or complete packages.
Click "Download maps" to download the necessary files. Start by selecting your computer as the storage location. The duration of the download can vary depending on your Internet connection.
Extracting the ZIP archive
with Microsoft Windows devices
Now extract the downloaded ZIP archive to the empty storage medium (formatted with FAT32).
Check the extracted files: There have to be at least two folders and one .md5 file in the ROOT directory of the storage medium (highest folder level).
with Apple devices
For newer maps (from week 45/20), use the standard Apple app to extract the files. If you are downloading older maps (week 22/20 or older), use the free program “TheUnarchiver” instead.
Now extract the downloaded ZIP file on your computer (formatted with FAT16 or FAT32).
Check the extracted files: There have to be at least two folders and one .md5 file in the ROOT directory of the storage medium (highest folder level).
Copy the complete content of the folder to the empty storage medium (formatted with FAT16 or FAT32).
Installation in the vehicle
Take the storage medium to your vehicle and switch on the ignition.
Then insert the storage medium in the corresponding port. You will then see a notification on the screen of your MMI. Note: On older vehicles, the notification is not displayed automatically. To run the update, navigate to the corresponding menu item on the MMI, depending on the vehicle:
Menu -> Setup MMI -> System Update -> Select USB stick or SD card
or
Settings-> Left drawer -> System maintenance -> System update -> Select USB stick or SD card
or
Menu -> Settings -> Setup MMI -> System update -> Select USB stick or SD card
or
Settings -> System maintenance -> Software update
In the last step, select your storage medium and install the new map data

Thanks, @Cruisn76. I was able to download it. A word to the wise though, folks; this archive is in RAR format, not ZIP. Also, to create the folder structure with files for the transfer process above, you have to further unpack the 15 parts in the downloaded archive. You can do that by making sure that all 15 parts are in the same folder, then unpacking part 1 which will automatically lead to the next part and so on. The unpacked 15 parts have to be in a separate folder structure and not combined with the 15 parts (I think).
Alternatively, you can just download the ZIP file here: https://1drv.ms/u/s!At652cvGKNNQgcg0...BtAXg?e=f3OaLc. This ZIP file has all 3,880 files already arranged in the folder structure of 1,737 folders, so if you unzip it directly to your SD card or USB stick (or HDD and then copy the whole folder structure to your SD card or USB stick) you should be good to go.
Thank you, @Cruisn76@DCB1951 . The update has a different folder structure from the previous ones. It must be for the newer MIB3 system with the touch screen. My MHI2 (with the appropriate FEC) could not find it. Hopefully someone will post the maps for the older systems. Folks with the touch screen can try this.

^ Awesome, if the map install finally works with Mac, I'll buy you an Audi beer!
Audi Beer
"Tire Tracks" must be some fine beer, there's an Audi going up a ski ramp!
lol, I copied that straight for Audi Canada

Oops, I forgot to mention it was RAR. I’ve always used WINRAR (which is free btw) for eons and has never failed me.
Do these maps update even on the oldest B9 cars without any entitlement checking? Does the MMI itself keep track of when it reached a limit of allowed updates?

No, B9 cars can only use the first 5 updates following their production. The date that it will stop accepting free updates is coded in the the MMI firmware.
