Original report by Matthew Spellings (Bitbucket: mspells, GitHub: klarh).

Not really a huge issue, but...

In the future, would it save in maintenance time to link directly to the bitbucket download links (like https://bitbucket.org/glotzer/hoomd-blue/get/v1.0.4.tar.bz2 ) instead of storing them on codeblue (https://codeblue.umich.edu/hoomd-blue/download.html)?

I had been using those bitbucket links. But then I thought, what about the day bitbucket shuts down and we need to move to another service? Just a little less time spent in the future if I maintain tarballs now.
