Broken link on Maven website

[David A Smith <da...@raytheon.com>]

Gentlemen,

There is a defect on the Maven download web page:

    http://maven.apache.org/download.html

If you click on the "mirror" column of the "Maven 2.0.9 (tar.gz)" row, 
instead of getting a link to a page of mirror names (as you do with other 
rows of this column) you get a gzipped html file.  I was able to hack into 
this gzipped html file and find a suitable link to a mirror site. However, 
I doubt this was what you intended.

Sincerely,
David Smith

PS:  I am taking a wild stab at trying to provide feedback on your web 
page.  A more conspicuous link for providing feedback would also be most 
helpful.

I think this is a bug in Safari that we haven't figured out how to get  
around yet. Is that what you were using?
