Nathan Bubna resolved VELOCITY-723.
-----------------------------------
Resolution: Invalid
No, we use a mirror network for downloads. If you want to download from the
ASF server, that's fine, but we don't link the masses to that. That would
defeat the whole point of using mirrors. If one mirror doesn't have their act
together, just use a different one. That's also part of the point: redundancy
in case of failure. If you are really concerned about a bad mirror, either
try contacting the ASF infrastructure people (who create that list) or these
bluedogfan people themselves.
