If for some reason you want to try it, the current version is at

I think I will need a new home for the binaries, because github only
gives me enough space for about 5 of them. So, uh, don't count on that
URL sticking around.
The right place for this is probably SourceForge, like all our other
downloads. That's a detail to be handler during the final release
through.

Sourceforge only gives us limited space that you can get through via a
simple web URL. If we need Wine to automatically download this the way
it does Gecko, then doing a normal "release" via sourceforge might not
be enough (since Wine can't click through the page). This is why we
were using things like the budgetdedicated hosting service (which is
still available) in years past.
I'm not sure what limited space you mean. We already have Wine Gecko on
SourceForge and a redirecting script on source.winehq.org, which is used
for automated downloads. AFAIK this way we don't have any limitations
and, as far as Wine packages are concerned, we don't depend on any
specific external mirror provider.
Perhaps I am misremembering bandwidth limitations as space ones, but I
do recall that hosting the Ubuntu packages there simply did not work
once we had more than a few thousand users long ago.
Depending on how frequent a download mono is, we may run into the same
issue (with a similar solution: most Ubuntu users don't ever hit the
sourceforge gecko download because they get gecko from an automatically
installed package that comes with the Wine package)
Thanks,
Scott Ritchie
