This is still a workaround and even more ugly because it can be even potentially unsafe.

For example, i could be wicked and change the files you download from my private location at some point with a malware and infect unsuspecting users. Or more probable case, I might need to remove my server, then everyone is left hanging..

The repos and autobuilder are there to guarantee distribution and security. The best/correct option is to use them.
