Aah, somewhat difficult: I collected them mostly between 2005 and 2007, a 2nd 
batch around 2010, plus I did some manual repairs ...
I will gladly provide them, but in total they encompass 213 MB uncompressed. 
Either we need some exchange place for the whole chunk or you select specific 
cursor sets ...

I'm showing the TDE mouse cursor selection dialog, the keywords given should 
help to search for them -- much more information I do not have myself anymore.

As kde-look (and  the similar named of the other desktops) IMHO lack useful 
* tagging or categorisation facilities,
* powerful search filters, 
* actually meaningful previews and descriptions (just eye-candy, but no useful 
indication of ergonomy, design goals and principles, intended use cases (large 
screen, small screen, mouse or touch driven interface, casual vs. extended 
use, ...)
* rating differentiation (e.g. independent rating dimensions "aesthetic", 
"ergonomic")
they degraded to large junkyards, were you have to dig for hours, just to find 
the rare gems.
