ERROR: Download of https://dl.bintray.com/lovell/sharp/... failed

It appears the link to the binary for sharp is having issues on npm install.
I'm getting this error:
ERROR: Download of https://dl.bintray.com/lovell/sharp/libvips-8.5.5-linux-x64.tar.gz failed: Response code 500 (Internal Server Error)

It appears the link https://dl.bintray.com/lovell/sharp/libvips-8.5.5-linux-x64.tar.gz is having issues.

Never mind, the error must have been temporary with the website. It's working fine now.

Happens pretty frequently lately. 😬

@jbaruch I've been getting a lot of negative feedback about Bintray availability recently. Are you able to help/comment?

http://status.bintray.com/incidents/lp493rrr4xqm claims an hour of "degraded download speeds" today but messages, comments and issues I've seen, when added to a collapse in download stats, suggest this has been ongoing since around 07:30 UTC, with problems reaching a peak around 14:00 UTC today and lasting for about 5 hours.

I'm thinking of switching to Github Releases for binary distribution... are you able to tempt/convince me not to?

@lovell Please consider to use Github releases instead of unreliable Bintray. e.g. electron-builder migrated to Github and now users are happy (last month Bintray returns or 404, or 500 error). Or releases to both and fallback to GitHub :)

It's better to do something with this issue asap. I can't push my project in production because of it and I think I'm not the only one.
