for several days can't install 1.5.0 in Beijing China (Bintray performance or how to shrink)

[paulvi]

This is maybe network related problem, but for several days can't install 1.5.0 in Beijing China (made more than dozen attempts)

The install starts, goes for 10% - 30% then timeout.

While this is maybe only in China, I noticed that for Nodeclipse, download speed went down from ~30KBs to ~5KBs and it is likely that there is problem with big files (6MB).

I solved this by building from sources.

As I redistribute GFMV together with Nodeclipse and the same problem with big file may happen, now there is update archive that is put on SourceForge.

Not sure if it gives a big difference, but what if to pack all dependencies in one (uber-) .jar (and delete unused classes during the process)
