apache.towardex.com URL path change
Hello,
We have stopped mirroring the apache-site module, but we are now
mirroring apache-dist module, which is what you guys prefer mirror
matainers to do anyway.
SO, with that being said... http://apache.towardex.com/dist you have on
your "download from a mirror" link would be no longer valid. From now
on, it will be just http://apache.towardex.com.
Please make this change on your web site when you get a chance.
Thank you in advance.
