Bintray sounds ideal. Speeds between dl.bintray.com and AWS are very fast. My issue is I can't really use a mirror because they change but linking to the host servers is bad because they're not designed to serve these files. A distribution as a service provider like bintray would definitely solve this problem.
In the meantime I'm experimenting with using 'www.apache.org/dist/ <http://www.apache.org/dist/>...' vs. 'archive.apache.org/dist/ <http://archive.apache.org/dist/>...' and this seems better. > On 3 Apr 2016, at 20:31, Vladimir Sitnikov <[email protected]> > wrote: > > What if we deployed binary artifacts to maven, then they would get > mirrored to bintray? > > Groovy is using bintray.com for distribution of their binaries: > http://groovy-lang.org/download.html links to > https://dl.bintray.com/groovy/maven/apache-groovy-sdk-2.4.6.zip > > Oliver, > Can I kindly ask you to download something like > https://dl.bintray.com/groovy/maven/apache-groovy-sdk-2.4.6.zip > to check if that will be good enough? > > Vladimir >
