> According to Infra www.apache.org/dist/ is deprecated.

> Hello, Apache PMCs,
> In order to better provide our millions of users with downloads, the
> Apache Infrastructure Team has been restructuring the way downloads work
> for our main distribution channels in the past few weeks. For users,
> this will largely go unnoticed, and for projects likely the same, but we
> did want to reach out to projects and inform them of the changes we've
> made:
> As of March 2020, we are deprecating www.apache.org/dist/ in favor of
> https://downloads.apache.org/ for backup downloads as well as signature
> and checksum verification. The primary driver has been splitting up web
> site visits and downloads to gain better control and offer a better
> service for both downloads and web site visits.
> As stated, this does not impact end-users, and should have a minimal
> impact on projects, as our download selectors as well as visits to
> www.apache.org/dist/ have been adjusted to make use of
> downloads.apache.org instead. We do however ask that projects, in their
> own time-frame, change references on their own web sites from
> www.apache.org/dist/ to downloads.apache.org wherever such references
> may exist, to complete the switch in full. We will NOT be turning off
> www.apache.org/dist/ in the near future, but would greatly appreciate if
> projects could help us transition away from the old URLs in their
> documentation and on their download pages.
> The standard way of uploading releases[1] will STILL apply, however
> there may be a short delay (<= 15 minutes) between releasing and
> releases showing up on downloads.apache.org for technical reasons.
> If you have any questions about this change, please do not hesitate
> to reach out to us at users@infra.apache.org.
> With regards,
> Daniel on behalf of ASF Infrastructure.
