Joseph Witt resolved NIFI-4104.
-------------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
> 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.
