Joseph Witt created NIFI-4104:
---------------------------------
Summary: Add language to nifi downloads page to reduce chance of
ASF archive site
Key: NIFI-4104
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-4104
Project: Apache NiFi
Issue Type: Task
Components: Documentation & Website
Reporter: Joseph Witt
Assignee: Joseph Witt
A user was frustrated by getting ASF blocked at the daily 5GB max. Turns out
they were downloading from the ASF archive (older nifi releases) instead of the
mirrors. Instead we should add language on our downloads page to make it more
clear how to access older releases from mirrors as well.
This page: https://archive.apache.org/dist/
Says:
Apache Software Foundation Distribution Directory
The directories linked below contain current software releases from the Apache
Software Foundation projects. Older non-recommended releases can be found on
our archive site.
To find the right download for a particular project, you should start at the
project's own webpage or on our project resource listing rather than browsing
the links below.
Please do not download from apache.org! If you are currently at apache.org and
would like to browse, please visit a nearby mirror site instead.
--- we should add similar language/guidance.
