I think torrents are the best solution. Even when servers function normally on each release there is a stampede to download new binary and things slow down to a crawl. I don't know if moving to CERN servers (AWS servers?) will help but torrents certainly would.
It's as simple as creating a torrent with openbittorrent.com tracker or even just a magnet link relying on DHT. I can help script this if needed.
