I've seen some servers using github pages. It's free and fast.

Things like this are typically against free sites' Terms of Service (ToS). I couldn't find any explicit language about this type of content in the GitHub ToS but you might get your account suspended due to bandwidth use.

Also, I'm quite sure that GitHub forces the HTTPS protocol and I'm not sure fast download will work with HTTPS (at least it didn't used to work and I've never seen a fast download website using HTTPS).

Yes, I have no idea how they manage to not get suspended.
I agree that HTTPS will be slower than HTTP but it shouldn't be a huge problem nowadays.

I didn't say it would be slower, the problem is that the game doesn't support the HTTPS protocol (unless that change recently) so it wouldn't work at all. If someone knows it will actually work, it'd be good to know.

Ok, well looks like they added support for it. For the longest time, it didn't work. It's the one reason I couldn't implement auto-upgrade to HTTPS on my website but it's been a while since I've tried it.
