However, for the absolute most bleeding edge up-to-date version of Canoeboot, there is a Git repository that you can download from. Go here:
How to download Canoeboot from Git
Download Canoeboot from mirrors
Canoeboot releases are hosted on the same Rsync server as Libreboot, and
mirrors pick this up; look in the canoeboot directory on Libreboot mirrors.
For your convenience, these are linked below (on the mirror lists).
HTTPS mirrors
The latest release is Canoeboot 20231107, under the canoeboot directory.
These mirrors are recommended, since they use TLS (https://) encryption.
You can download Canoeboot from these mirrors:

Are you running a mirror? Contact the canoeboot project, and the link will be added to this page!
You can make your rsync mirror available via your web server, and also configure your own mirror to be accessible via rsync. There are many resources online that show you how to set up an rsync server.
How to create your own rsync mirror:
Useful for mirroring Canoeboot's entire set of release archives. You can put an rsync command into crontab and pull the files into a directory on your web server.
If you are going to mirror the entire set, it is recommended that you allocate at least 25GiB. Canoeboot's rsync is currently about 12GiB, so allocating 25GiB will afford you plenty of space for the future. At minimum, you should ensure that at least 15-20GiB of space is available, for your Canoeboot mirror.
It is highly recommended that you use the canoeboot.org mirror, if you wish to host an official mirror. Otherwise, if you simply want to create your own local mirror, you should use one of the other mirrors, which sync from canoeboot.org.
NOTE: the rsync commands below will only download canoeboot. Remove
the canoeboot/ part at the end of each path, if you also want to download
all of Libreboot; Libreboot and Canoeboot share the same Rsync server.
Before you create the mirror, make a directory on your web server. For example:
mkdir /var/www/html/libreboot/canoeboot/
Now you can run rsync, for instance:
rsync -avz --delete-after rsync://rsync.canoeboot.org/mirrormirror/ /var/www/html/libreboot/canoeboot/
You might put this in an hourly crontab. For example:
crontab -e
Then in crontab, add this line and save/exit (hourly crontab):
0 * * * * rsync -avz --delete-after rsync://rsync.canoeboot.org/mirrormirror/ /var/www/html/libreboot/canoeboot/
It's extremely important to have the final forward slash (/) at the end of each path, in the above rsync command. Otherwise, rsync will behave very strangely.
NOTE: rsync.canoeboot.org is not directly accessible by the public, except
those whose IPs are whitelisted. For bandwidth reasons, the firewall running
on canoeboot.org blocks incoming rsync requests, except by specific IPs.
If you wish to run an rsync mirror, sync from one of the third party mirrors above and set up your mirror. You can then contact Leah Rowe, to have your IP addresses whitelisted for rsync usage - if the IP addresses match DNS A/AAAA records for your rsync host, this can be used. A script runs in an hourly crontab on canoeboot.org, that fetches the A/AAAA records of whitelisted rsync mirrors, automatically adding rules permitting them to get through the firewall.
If you wish to regularly keep your rsync mirror updated, you can add it to a crontab. This page tells you how to use crontab: https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man5/crontab.5.html
