Fetching from github was significantly faster than fetching from sourceforge (when it worked) for me in South Africa. I contacted Peter (pushcx on github) and he set up his mirror four years ago in order to work around a different sourceforge issue [1] and does not intend to remove it.
As Julian pointed out above, the redirection from https to http only occurs when redirecting to the failedmirror page, after the actual problem has occurred. I'm still not clear on what the problem with the mirror is, but it is not that the files are not there.
