Accumulo 1.4.3 download "mirrors" links bad?
Hi gang,
I'm trying to download the 1.4.3 release from:
http://accumulo.apache.org/downloads/
But for both the binaries and source downloads the file sizes are only
7.1KB in size and aren't valid .tar.gz files.
The various firewalls and security scanners here at work can sometimes make
some site links not work properly, but not usually one that looks to be
this simple.
Could someone -- anyone -- please try to download one of these files to see
if it's just my bad luck at work, or whether the site / links actually have
an issue?
Thanks,
Terry

Well how about that folks. I upgraded to Firefox 20.0.1 (latest version
approved at work), and I get the same exact thing -- a 7.1KB tar.gz file.
When I attempt to open it with WinZip (I'm on Windoze), WinZip reports
"Error reading header after processing 0 entries." WinZip opens and claims
the compressed file has a folder called [untitled], but one can't do
anything with it.
So as I suspected, it's likely something to do with the security scanner we
have at work.
I just wanted to report it in the first place in case it was an issue for
everyone else as well, but not the case.
Thanks everyone for providing the direct download links yesterday.

It works fine for me at home on Firefox or Chrome or Safari.
At work it came down as a .tar.gz file which, when opened, was empty.
Odd, odd, odd. And yeah, I do have an old version of Firefox at work. They don't allow auto-updates, and only allow specific approved versions. Hopefully they allow a newer version now and I'll definitely check tomorrow.
Thanks gang, I have what I need now (at least to look at see if the 1.4.3 init scripts run on Red Hat).

could be, the file command can probably sort it out.
Me and few coworkers had something odd happen when trying to download
thrift once. I got a gzipped, tar.gz. So I had to run gunzip twice. I
reported to the thrift mailing list and no one else was seeing the issue.
Something between us and the file was trying to help.

I'm wondering if it's an older version of Firefox that's related. But like

That is not a file, the closer.cgi is a script which will try to point to a
mirror close to user. I have yet to find a specific reason this happens,
but it's few and far between. I use firefox and do not have this issue,
FWIW.

Hi John,
I tried NOT downloading it and telling Firefox to open it using Firefox,
but it always gives me a 7KB tar.gz file.
When one hovers over the link, the URL in the status bar shows:
www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/accumulo/1.4.3/accumulo-1.4.3-dist.tar.gz
So it looks to me like it's linking directly to a file, no?
I'll try when I get home but I really want to get my hands on the Red Hat /
CentOS compatible init scripts that I'm hoping are in 1.4.3.

Those are links to the mirrors list, not files to download themselves.
There have been a few users who have had their browsers configured to treat
links that end in tar.gz to download them as a tar.gz when in realize it's
a link apache mirror redirector.
