Why not? It's possible to use the automatic mirror chooser with a parameter that automatically downloads: http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi?filename=jmeter/binaries/apache-jmeter-2.13.zip&action=download > In the meantime I'm experimenting with using 'www.apache.org/dist/ > <http://www.apache.org/dist/>...' vs. 'archive.apache.org/dist/ > <http://archive.apache.org/dist/>...' and this seems better. Neither of those should be used for normal downloads.
