   > Is Boost the only dependency that gets downloaded in this way? (If it is, 
I'm happy to change the URL in this PR if somebody tells me where it is).
   
   No, but it's the only one we alter in this way to reduce the size. The rest 
are just mirrors of the official sources for redundancy, so that if one 
site/CDN goes down, we're less likely to get a failed build. 
   
   I wouldn't just change the URL since we've shipped several versions of the 
library with it. You could just put the boost bundle in the thirdparty 
directory (i.e. up one level) and update the URL for it. Then whenever we bump 
the dependency versions for everything else, we can put them in that directory. 
(You could make an issue for that.)
