There are no free mirrors that can handle the bandwidth and reliability requirements. Both fosshub and sourceforge dont allow direct downloads, their business model is based on showing ads on the download page. I dont like to direct people to websites that show ads that are not in my control. There are spammy advertisers that show large fake download buttons as ads to fool people into downloading malware. I actually have to spend ten minutes every single day reviewing the ads shown on the calibre website to remove these spammy ads.
