an HTTPS endpoint on dlang.org which redirects to the latest HTTPS GitHub release would be fine I think.

How is downloads.dlang.org currently setup then if HTTPS is not an option and it's not cloudfront? If the domain is under D's control then it's possible to add a LetsEncrypt certificate like on the main page, no?

Cloudflare has a free plan which includes DNS + CDN + SSL among another things and I think it would be our best option going forward.
