To my taste, ASF mirrors should not be allowed to hijack nonexistent URLs within a mirror directory. Such practice should cause an immediate ban/drop of such site from a list of official mirrors. ASF mirror directories should not offer free advertising to visitors who try to access a nonexistent link, in good faith they are accessing ASF contents. Mark
