I had a follow up conversation with Infra.
We are discussing just using downloads.a.o without mirrors. We should just get
a sense of the size by switching over either random requests or choosing a
particular language.
So, let’s say we change the de download page to use downloads.a.o! If all goes
well, we switch over the others a few at a time.
Keep in mind downloads only has current versions with older ones on archives.a.o
we need a complete re-work of a.o.o/downloads when we want to seriously
use this website for any downloads. Offering every file with an own link
is (hopefully !) not what we want. ;-)
Of course here a step-by-step progress is needed. But at the end the ASF
dist system has to be strong enough for our download numbers (I've
attached them to the issue). When some non-ASF mirror server can support
with the load even better.
Let's see what Infra will say.

So is this Mirror system Issue a blocker?
Infra expects us to say how much TB we will need per year as Download traffic.
Is anyone able to answer this question? I mean by saying a number.
If so please add it to the ticket. So the ticket can go to Infra and they worry
about the Mirror system distribution. It is not our job to do this.

That is why I wrote "encourage again". ;-)

Hi Matthias,
That would be nice, except very few (if any) of the ASF mirrors
(https://www.apache.org/mirrors/) mirror AOO. Maybe that is something we
can work with Intra to fix.

Hi Peter,
I would rather encourage to use the ASF mirror system again as an
addition to our SourceForge downloads.

Hello all,
In the past we have discouraged the use of
https://downloads.apache.org/ because of Infra.
I had a discussion with Humbedooh if this is still the case. And the
discussion outcome is, hat they only need a view days to adjust in
order to be able to secure the service.
It may be that on peak times the download speed drops, but traffic or
the amount of downloads is not a topic.
A topic will be to obtain statistics. I have not discussed this yet.
But the data is not publicly available, and I so far obtained only a
list from last week, because I figured that some are already promoting
the link.
(With about 6k of download on friday, 4k on thursday, and 500 on
wednseday. (thursday I figured that some sites announced 4.1.10. (They
even link the draft release notes :P )
So what do you think? Should we promote the alternate link with this
release more publicly maybe on Forums and go for a transition to a
different download policy?
