Thanks for joining the discussion and for running last year's QEMU
Advent Calendar, Eldon.
Any ideas for moving download.qemu.org to a hosted service would be
appreciated! We haven't compared CDN and cloud providers closely yet. If
you have experience in this area or time to check them out, then that
would be valuable.
QEMU has funds if there is a cost for file hosting (probably less than
$100/month). Some providers may be willing to support an open source
project for free. Possible providers include CloudFlare, Akamai, Fastly,
Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Storage, etc.
Let me know if ya'll apply and I'm happy to push it through.
