Hi common-devs,

When I tried to build Hadoop trunk today, Maven build failed because kms
failed to download:
http://archive.apache.org/dist/tomcat/tomcat-6/v6.0.44/bin/apache-tomcat-6.0.44.tar.gz
.

When I open the link from browser, it shows bandwidth limit exceeded:

Bandwidth limit exceeded

The daily allowance of 5GB for this IP has been exceeded, and downloads
disabled until midnight, UTC (circa 21 hours from now).
If you have any questions about this, feel free to reach out to us at
infrastruct...@apache.org.

Then I investigated a little more, there're two issues from what I can see
1) If you look at http://archive.apache.org/dist/, it clearly says:
*> Please do not download from apache.org <http://apache.org>!*

2) And also, http://archive.apache.org/dist/ says:
> Older *non-recommended* releases can be found on our archive site
<http://archive.apache.org/dist/>.

We're using tomcat with version=6.0.44, on other Apache mirror site, only
6.0.45 tomcat is downloadable. Which essentially means 6.0.44 is a
non-recommended release.

I would like to propose to make following changes:
1) Update tomcat download site from apache.org to another mirror.
2) Upgrade tomcat from 6.0.44 to 6.0.45.

But would like to hear your thoughts before filing JIRA.

Thanks,
Wangda
