Thank You for the answer. What regards to the lack of computing resources 
of the free services then my counter-argument is that their computing 
resource is FREE and BETTER THAN NOTHING, whilst the patchbot is going to 
disturb local users by consuming RAM and bandwidth between the RAM and 
CPU.  I interpret Your answer as "It is worth for me, Martin Vahi, to try 
something"(No promises of any kind by me right now.).

On the other hand, given all the trouble that it takes to get the Sage 
built 

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/sage-devel/ILKmNjHrLVQ

a virtual machine instance for running the patchbot might come handy, not 
to mention security, because the patchbot does just download and upload 
what it pretty much wants. If I offer a VirtualBox virtual appliance that 
contains Sage (right now I do not know, if I'm able to, because the Sage 
7.0 has been compiling in my version for over 12h), then is there any 
chance that it could be hosted for downloads at some Sage server? 

The virtual appliance will probably be about 100GiB and the Sourceforge 
offers at most ~500MiB file size, which would make 100GiB/0.5GiB ~ 200 
files to be downloaded and concatenated with tar. Actually, there's a 
chance that the exported VirtualBox appliance might be about 10GiB, but 
that's still about 20 files to download and concatenate.
