Yes, it is supported, but recommended against, to avoid flooding the up-to-date mirrors. In IRC, Gavin noted that the list will only includes mirrors sync'd in the last 24 hours. This information is self-reported, and the issue is that mirrors reporting themselves as up-to-date aren't really so (they lack the subversion directory). The artifacts in question were added to www.apache.org/dist 5 days ago. -Hyrum
