Here are the tarball links (tar.gz format):
https://github.com/Neopallium/lua-llthreads/tarball/v1.1
https://github.com/Neopallium/lua-zmq/tarball/v1.1

or in zip format:
https://github.com/Neopallium/lua-llthreads/zipball/v1.1
https://github.com/Neopallium/lua-zmq/zipball/v1.1

If these links don't work for distro releases let me know.
