Question what are the alternative solutions to distribute window binaries freely,without adware like sf or download.com ? github used to allow binary distribution but not anymore, and I don't feel like tags are a good way to do that.

> github used to allow binary distribution but not anymore

Sorry I must be missing something, what's wrong with "Upload a release asset" [1].

[1] https://developer.github.com/v3/repos/releases/#upload-a-rel...

Github used to have a simple binary files service, this was removed with no replacement, and then the release asset system was added shortly after.

I only recently found out release assets.

Depending on the download volume you expect, you could host it yourself.
