1. the main mirrored ASF distribution directories 2. the main ASF archives
tomcat releases are still available through the older unmirrored directories. the download statistics (supply by infrastructure) show that unmirrored tomcat downloads from these directories are still proving far too popular. this is a major issue since the ASF has to pay for bandwidth.
my proposal is that:
1. all available distributables for the latest tomcat 3, tomcat 4 and tomcat 5 releases be added to the appropriate mirrored directories and linked to jakarta download pages. if necessary, md5's and signatures will be created for these distributables. (except for tomcat 3 this should just be checking and tidying up).
2. the older releases for tomcat 3, tomcat 4 and tomcat 5 be moved into the ASF archives (where they will remain available for download) and that all requests be redirected to the main jakarta binary download page where the latest release can be downloaded or the link to the archives can be followed.
(unless someone else steps forward) i'll volunteer to carry out this work.
(unless someone corrects me) i'll assume that the decision will proceed by lazy consensus. (unless someone forces a vote before then) i'll carry out this work sometime after 12 noon GMT on this friday (5th september).
