I would like to NAK this. This URL seems be a repo of an arbitrary person, I don't see
how this is related to the original project as it is not listed anywhere on the Denx wiki or so.
I also found this (old) mail - don't know whether opinions changed meanswhile:
https://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2009-March/049148.html

Personally, I would prefer to fix the openwrt download mirror. Addtionally, we could
check, whether it's possible to use the "offical" Amazon drive
(https://www.amazon.com/clouddrive/share/HtTEzbceyJDyHv7anDLboEjTe0OkFbYReMxRp3CF20n?ref_=cd_ph_share_link_copy)
