Which is especially strange since they are already on GitHub, which means if they attached those artifacts to the GitHub Release <https://github.com/eranif/codelite/releases/tag/17.0.0> then they'd be served to you from S3 at "S3-speeds" I mean, I hear them about "donationware" or whatever that is, but even having support.php hotlink to the GH release artifact would still be a win, and security through obscurity means likely folks wouldn't look on the GH releases page for the artifacts to bypass the support.php nagware anyway
