I've found neither sourceforge nor github to be particularly reliable.
They're ok for free.

I ended up having a cronjob dump a known good tarball into my own server
https://dedi4.nedprod.com/static/files/. That's reliable.

I did experiment for a bit with Bintray, but I found its design not well
suited for Boost type libraries. It could be forced to work, but it's
pretty unnatural and clunky.
