That gives me an idea.
We currently use a small PHP script to handle 404's on
download.eclipse.org. If the request comes from Eclipse or a robot, we
send a small 404 response. If it's from a browser, we send the
stunningly beautiful page you see here:
http://downlaod.eclipse.org/khasjkas
We could alter the script to return a 301redirect if the 404 file in
question is indeed found on archive.eclipse.org. This means in theory,
you _could_ move files and p2 repos to the archives without any breakage
at all.
Or even better, the PHP script could just send the file's contents down
the wire with a 200 response, no redirects.
I would be concerned about the increased CPU load, since download.e.o
currently handles about 6 million 404's a day. But it would likely be a
very elegant solution.

If there are resources available to work on this, it would be much
better if download.eclipse.org served as central gateway to both the
primary download server and the archive. Then one can implement all
sort of archiving policies without involving projects or affecting end
users referencing these URLs... You can auto-archive based on age, you
can auto-archive based on demand, heck you can even pick a goal for
how much to mirror and have a heuristic that shuffles between primary
and archive to meet that goal.

Mirror servers
Does it make sense to consider moving files that are old--say three or
more years old--to the archive server automatically?

To help you clean up older builds and files from the Eclipse download
server, I've compiled a list of files that are actually sync'ed to our

I each project to look at the file list, and either remove files that
are no longer needed, or move older releases[1] to the archives.
