everybody using mirror http://apache.cs.uu.nl/ in his maven

seem to be strange rewrite rules configured, which rewrites you a
couple of times when you want to download certain jakarta jars, and
then just downloads http://jakarta.apache.org/site/downloads/
index.html. You end up with hard to solve problems because of
nonsense jars just containing an html page.
For example:
http://apache.cs.uu.nl/dist/jakarta/jakarta-slide
http://apache.cs.uu.nl/dist/jakarta/jakarta-bcel
http://apache.cs.uu.nl/dist/jakarta/jakarta-bsf
That's odd.
You can try contacting [EMAIL PROTECTED], but my experience from the past
shows that they don't seem to care much about what mirrors do. Best
bet probably is to contact the mirror admins.
I did not test further, but it seems that jakarta projects, from
which the jars are not present in apache.cs.uu.nl, are redirected,
instead of returning a 404. If you for example have the dependency
<dependency>
<id>jakarta-slide:slide-stores</id>
<version>a-random-version-here</version>
</dependency>
Just to set things clear, this is a maven1-only repo right ?
