[site] Mirrored downloads page available for testing
There is a new download page is ready for you to take a look at and test.
http://harmony.apache.org/download.cgi
I removed the M1 and M2 builds, since they are not ones that we are
encouraging people to use, and I added the M3 source and Debian download
links. The idea is to move M1 and M2 into the archive.
It will take a while for the mirrors to catch up with M3, so a number of
them may not have the download files available yet. I tested it with
reverse.net which has synchronized already. The checksum files must not
be mirrored, so they still come from www.apache.org.
The snapshots are still residing on people.apache.org. I hope these are
low traffic downloads since they are not so well tested.
Please shout if there is a problem or improvement you can see, otherwise
I intend to switch over to the new download page tomorrow, and will
retire the old one with a redirect to keep any links to it happy.
Regards,
Tim

100 per day, it's amazing, i think harmony will attract more and more java
developers in the near future.

That's really interesting - I didn't realise Harmony had so many users! I
would have thought it's fine to assume that the majority of people who
followed the link completed the download - I'm sure that's what other
projects do.
Thanks,
Sian

Analytics and the ASF server logs give us a bunch of information about
the usage of pages on our website, and the number of downloads etc.
However, now we have switched to the mirrors we actually can't tell if
people completed a download from a mirror site, only that they went to
our download page and followed the links.
One of the reasons we were asked to switch to using mirrors was to
alleviate the load on the ASF servers (I understand we were getting
about 100 milestone downloads per day in September), plus of course
local mirrors make things quicker for our users.

Tim

Thanks for doing this Tim. The new page works for me with various UK
mirrors. Are we able to get download statistics for M3 now we have google
analytics on the website?
