Don't worry, I will make the "release" versions available through my usual download system, which includes your server. Just not the early preview builds.

About the AVG issue: It appears that A/V developers still are a bit too paranoid about EXE packers. They really should tell people that when a file has been "detected" by a heuristic then that file with high probability is NOT malicious at all. Instead they show the potential threat in a similar way to a "true" approved virus signature match. It's not a big surprise that the average user doesn't know what "generic" or "heuristic" means in this context, so they will think it's indeed a virus and thus send hate mail to the software author instead of bug report to the A/V developer team

[EDIT]

Here is a VirusTotal analysis. Only 3 A/V programs out of 42 trigger a false alert:
