The official repository, download.notepad-plus-plus.org, is down!

Now, the official repository, http://download.notepad-plus-plus.org, is now down. May this repository be fixed soon?

This was announced some weeks back.
It was shut down for security reasons, and indications are it’s not coming back.
As I indicated in this GitHub issue, that location was not the primary storage for downloads: the official https://notepad-plus-plus.org/downloads/ page has linked to the installer/zip file binaries stored in the GitHub Releases page https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/releases/ for years.
The only thing the developer really used that https://download.notepad-plus-plus.org/repository for was temporarily holding the “RC” Release Candidate versions (which he now does in an RC tag in his GitHub fork, when he’s got an active RC Announcement), and as a backup of historical releases.
It appears that backup wasn’t sufficient to overcome the security issues involved.
