Christoph Gohlke's Windows Wheels site is shutting down by the end of the month

Cython

This is not just a random change that could break someone's workflow, it rather feels like an absolute desaster in the light of millions of python users and developers worldwide who rely on those precompiled python wheels. Just a few numbers to illustrate the potential catastrophe that is on the horizon when Christoph shuts down his service: - a simple backlink check reveals ~83k referal links from ~5k unique domains, out of which many prominent and official websites appear in the top 100, such as cython.org, scipy.org, or famous package providers like Shapely, GeoPandas, Cartopy, Fiona, or GDAL (by O'Reilly). - Another perspective provides the high number of related search results, votes, and views on StackOverflow, which clearly indicates the vast amount of installation issues haunting the python community and how often Christoph's unofficial website is the key to solve them.

Archive.org

Come to think of this, the Internet Archive at archive.org has a software section that would be a perfect home to a static copy. You'd only have to upload the files once and, if you could find a way to compile newer versions, could add them later.
