I don't have a clear and simple answer to this right now.  I've cc-ed
Elliot Murphy who can talk with you about your particular situation and
figure out how we can set things up.

You can use Launchpad as a centralized version control server, along
with bazaar.  Bazaar works both ways, distributed and centralized.  You
get to choose.  The commands are almost exactly the same as those for SVN.

We'll be offering hosting of file downloads in Launchpad in the very
near future.
