I think torrents are the best solution.
Even when servers function normally on each release there is a stampede to
download new binary and things slow down to a crawl. I don't know if moving
to CERN servers (AWS servers?) will help but torrents certainly would.

It's as simple as creating a torrent with openbittorrent.com tracker or
even just a magnet link relying on DHT.
I can help script this if needed.
