It would be easily possible (looking at the bandwidth) to at least host
some checksums on boost.org, preferably using HTTPS.

But the problem with SF seems to be, that there is no possibility to
delete a project. So it seems (from what I read recently) one has to
maintain these projects forever and hope for the best.
