Sebb commented on CLIMATE-521:
------------------------------

bq. The link will be updated when the mirrors have updated.

The ASF uses 3rd party mirrors partly to reduce its bandwidth requirements, 
which is why all download pages must use mirrors.

The normal procedure is to publish the tarballs after the vote succeeds, and 
then wait a short while before updating the download page and sending the 
announcement.

Mirrors update 2-4 times per day, so it does not take long for the files to 
propagate.

However, some mirrors may take a bit longer, which is why sites like Ant 

http://ant.apache.org/bindownload.cgi

include the release date and a warning that some mirrors may not have the files 
immediately.

> Downloads must use ASF mirror system; also have sigs and hashes
