David, what Martin is saying is that, for the time being, only the release directories are being mirrored. As a practical matter, we owe it to the generous sponsors of the ASF to make use of the mirrors, and reduce the cost of downloading Struts. (Yes, someone does actually pay real money for our bandwidth.) When the mirroring system is expanded to include the milestones, and I'm sure that it will be, we can go back to parking our betas and release candidates there. In the meantime, I suggest that we be good Apache citizens and either live with the anomoly or pitch in and give the infrastructure team a hand.

-Ted.

The issue is not the mirror sites, it's listing a beta as a release distribution.

Being that this is open source and all, you're welcome to submit a patch to
make milestone builds available via mirror sites as well (binary and
source).
