Description

The SBT download script tries to download from two locations, typesafe.artifactoryonline.com and repo.typesafe.com. The former is offline; the latter redirects to dl.bintray.com now. In fact, bintray seems like the only place to download SBT at this point. We should update to reference bintray directly.

PS: we should download SBT over HTTPS too, not HTTP
