Downloads link doesn't work
The page http://maven.apache.org/download.html provides links to the
mirroring system, but it seems to be configured wrongly. When I click
on the link to e.g.
http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/maven/binaries/apache-maven-2.2.1-bin.tar.gz
I get the mirrors page downloaded as if it were the tarball (i.e. a
5kb file instead of a 1.5MB file).
Going to http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/maven/binaries/,
selecting a download mirror and downloading the tarball does work
though.
I'm using safari 4.0.2

I don't use ff for daily usage :)
With Wicket we use a different strategy: we link to a directory
containing our distributables, instead of the artifact itself:
http://wicket.apache.org/getting-wicket.html
has a link to:
http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/wicket/1.4.0
which contains (on mirrors):
Parent Directory 27-Jul-2009 17:36 -
KEYS 23-Jul-2009 19:57 15k
apache-wicket-1.4.0.tar.gz 23-Jul-2009 20:09 21.4M
apache-wicket-1.4.0.tar.gz.asc 23-Jul-2009 20:09 1k
apache-wicket-1.4.0.zip 23-Jul-2009 20:04 29.5M
apache-wicket-1.4.0.zip.asc 23-Jul-2009 19:57 1k
Still a 3 click download, but better than the hoops I had to jump
through to get at the Maven distribution due to my browser bug.

Can you try a different browser? I believe it's a known issue with
Safari. For example, ServiceMix has a note on their download page
about it. http://servicemix.apache.org/servicemix-323.html
