Starting today, existing projects that do not have any downloads and all new projects will not have the ability to create downloads. Existing projects with downloads will see no visible changes until January 14, 2014 and will no longer have the ability to create new downloads starting on January 15, 2014. All existing downloads in these projects will continue to be accessible for the foreseeable future.
If your project is using downloads to host and distribute files and has a need to periodically create new downloads, we recommend you move your downloads to an alternate service like Google Drive before January 15, 2014. If you choose to move your files to Google Drive, check out our help article.
But for addons it doesn't look like you can get a permanent link that can be used in Google Drive
Any suggestions for alternatives? Does github work for hosting addons and downloads? https://github.com/blog/1302-goodbye-uploads seems to indicate that it doesn't
