David posted a comment in a bug re: testing Mirrors, and I thought it
would be beneficial to repost it here.
If you're testing mirrors, please do so from a non-eclipse.org server.
The Mirrors URL is designed to *not* return mirrors if accessed from
within the eclipse.org network. This prevents Hu
think for now, further discussion can be had in bug 383145.
But ... we may want to improve this part of our advice/coordination in
