you mean this for instance?
https://github.com/conan-community/conan-boost/blob/release/1.71.0/conanfile.py#L150

or this?
https://github.com/conan-io/conan-center-index/blob/master/recipes/boost/all/conandata.yml#L2-L22

TBH, if a package manager is pointing to bintray, and if there is a
limit on the download volume, something will fail (whether this is a CI
job or a human being pulling the libs).

Maybe it is time to reconsider this, for instance:
https://help.github.com/en/github/administering-a-repository/about-releases

In particular:
"Each file included in a release must be under 2 GB. There is no limit
on the total size of a release, nor bandwidth usage."
