Call something like this from a crontab:
$ wget -O /var/www/html/dl/my-project.zip http://localhost:8080/zip
Then in the HTML:
<a href="/dl/my-project.zip">Download</a>

Fossil-produced zip files and tarballs leave that out.
The main downside is that you don’t get delta downloads. The user would have
to download the whole thing all over again.

CGI isn’t necessarily required to run a Fossil web server. I understand that
some web hosts don’t allow easy access to CGI for security reasons, but you
might still be able to run a Fossil instance there with “fossil server” and use
its HTTP server, possibly on a nonstandard port >= 1024. Then point the static
pages to the Fossil instance:
<a href="http://server-name:8080/zip/my-project.zip?uuid=trunk”>Download</a>
You do unfortunately have to give an absolute URL here: HTML doesn’t allow you
to say “same server but different port,” on purpose, presumably for some
security reason.
The default permissions on Fossil allow anonymous users to download zip files
and tarballs.
Or, you could just expose the Fossil server publicly but deny anonymous users
the ability to read tickets an the wiki. Then you get delta syncing and all
the other Fossil goodness.
