This time I got a response that I should expect delays because I am\nnot a customer with a support contract.\n\nNeedless to say, I am very disappointed with BinTray at the moment. I\nspent a substantial amount of time to automate the uploads, and I hate the\nidea that all of that was for naught because we might have to switch to a\nmore reliable hoster.\n\nIn the meantime, I will upload the respective Pacman packages to\nhttps://github.com/git-for-windows/git/releases/tag/v2.16.1.windows.2\n\nCiao,\nJohannes\n"}]}
