Just before I sent my email, Matthew Miller sent an email with these short URLs:
(Only qcow2 for now)

======
These links all work now:

    http://cloud.fedoraproject.org/fedora-19.x86_64.qcow2

    http://cloud.fedoraproject.org/fedora-19.i386.qcow2

    http://cloud.fedoraproject.org/fedora-latest.i386.qcow2

    http://cloud.fedoraproject.org/fedora-latest.x86_64.qcow2

(They will redirect to a mirror link provided by mirrormanager.)
