Looks like we might have a solution after all for this. This is what I got back from INFRA:
We have a somewhat "hidden" service, called nightlies.apache.org - a WebDAV server. You can create a spot directory there and put files using your ASF credentials. I'll look at moving the files up there and we can adjust the links afterwards as part of PR-163.
