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.
