While a single page is necessary for the casual browser, why would a user of Tomcat, who wants to download Tomcat 5, want to goto a list of many other subprojects?
http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/maven/binaries/maven-1.0.zip seems to be far more of what a user would want to see. However, it should also have the keys/signatures for that file. I'm pretty sure these aren't mirrored, so should be easy to modify closer.cgi. Then each subproject can manage a simple page with the lists of their distributions. As the actual download page will mention keys/signatures, the project-list page merely has to mention that the keys/signatures can be found on the download page. My only grumble is with: http://maven.apache.org/start/download.html It doesn't indicate that the link goes to a mirror'd download page, but suggests that clicking on said link will download. This means users will right-click and do Save-As on some occasions. Sourceforge has a similar problem.
