[QGIS-Developer] Slow downloads for LTR MSI

[Tim Sutton]

Hi

IIRC, Richard's explanation as to why we turned off the CDN is that it was
trying to grab all the download archives each time it did a cache request
and it was blowing our server out of the water. So the plan is to split the
latest downloads and the archives to separate hosts / domains / sites such
that the CDN conly caches the latest builds....

Regards

Tim
