Seems like a legitimate case for BitTorrent? It's always my go-to download method for Linux ISOs.

Running a VPS / web server for an initial (web) seed isn't free - and then you're relying on popularity to keep the files available. I should check whether the Internet Archive will host things.

I've grabbed 5 year old tarballs off SourceForge before. I know there are 5+ year old torrents that still have peers but that's an exception to the rule.
