You may sync 4 times (max) per day, but only if you have a slow or poor connection, causing timeouts. > >> For example: >> http://ftp.jaist.ac.jp/pub/apache/jackrabbit/2.15.8/jackrabbit-2.15.8-src.zip >> reports a 404. >> Fine with me, if we ignore this rule, it makes releasing easier.

I think this would be the best: " Use the links below to download Apache Jackrabbit releases from one of our mirrors. You should verify the integrity of the files using the signatures and checksums available from this page. Please note that some of the mirrors might not be up-to-date shortly after the release; in this case wait 12-24 hours until the distribution becomes available on your preferred mirror. " WDYT?
