Ok, If I change my IP address from a Moroccan IP to a French IP, I can
see some mirrors... and yes the mirrors arent up to date... badly.
Probably some IP geolocation on the ASF download script...
I will add a mention to the wiki release process to really wait 24h to
announce even if you see only a little list of mirrors, and check on
this status page:

Hello,
The Apache JMeter team is pleased to announce the availability of
Apache
JMeter 3.0 (r1743807).
Except that the mirrors have yet to catch up.
The announce should normally be sent 12-24 hours after the release is
published.
No, since, the mirrors are gone from the Download Page, we are only
the US
and EU ASF mirrors on website, so the announce can be done after ~1
hour.
Huh? Since when?
I don't remember. If I go to the JMeter Download page, I find only 2
locations for the download (since a lot of times)
(other projects like Ant, CloudStack, etc are in the same case)
That is not the case, and if it were, we would have to change the
download page because the US/EU mirrors are only supposed to be used
as backup.
Perhaps that is a bug?
The ASF does not have sufficient bandwidth to serve all its projects
from its servers which is why we rely on 3rd party mirrors.
If I remember correctly that was a security issue with the way to
deliver the ASF software (but perhaps I mistake)
Only the KEYS, sigs and hashes are linked from the ASF hosts.

For emergency releases, that wait can be reduced, in which case the
announce should make it clear that not all the mirrors will have the
release immediately.
This release brings a lot of new features (over 100) and fixes a
lot of
bugs
(over 60).
We also re-lift the style of JMeter's website and we changed the
JMeter's
logo.
You can read the New and Noteworthy section with some screenshots to
illustrate improvements and full list of changes at:
http://jmeter.apache.org/changes.html
JMeter 3.0 requires Java 7 or later to run.
== All users are highly recommended to upgrade ==
The Apache JMeter application is a 100% pure Java application
designed to
test server applications.
It can be used to:
* generate test loads
* measure performance.
* test functional behavior
It includes support for protocols such as HTTP(S), JDBC, JMS, FTP,
LDAP,
TCP, native calls and others.
It can also be easily extended with user-written code.
See http://jmeter.apache.org/
Users are highly encouraged to read the JMeter Best Practices
section:
http://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/best-practices.html
The release can be downloaded from:
http://jmeter.apache.org/download_jmeter.cgi
When downloading, please verify signatures using the KEYS file:
https://www.apache.org/dist/jmeter/KEYS
Only the binary archive is needed to run JMeter - there is no need to
download the source archive.
However there are some optional libraries which are not included.
See the "Getting Started" page for details:
http://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/get-started.html
JMeter artifacts can be downloaded on Maven Central :

Enjoy!
