That would be awesome.  A HTTPS webserver with a self-signed
certificate is sufficient, serving files generated like so:

for i in 64 32 16 8 4 2 1; do
  dd if=/dev/urandom of=./${i}M bs=1k count=`expr $i \* 1024`
done

for i in 512 256 128 64 32 16; do
  dd if=/dev/urandom of=./${i}k bs=1k count=$i
done

Let me know the IP or hostname and I will switch over to it. (If you
have an ETA on when it would be available, that would be great too; so
Linus can decide if he wants to decommission before then and I can
temporarily use fastly or something.)
