I don't mind hosting them somewhere else.  Do you have some place in mind?

Google Code looks like it has a 10MB file size limit:

Launchpad seems to be considering upping their limit to 200MB:

The scipy server can't handle the load or bandwidth needed.

My first inclination would be to look at Launchpad:
https://launchpad.net/numpy
https://launchpad.net/scipy

How do you like releasing files on launchpad?  Can you write a script
to upload release files and notes?  Can you script making the
announcement?

It looks like they md5 support builtin:

Ideas?  Comments?
