> A user was frustrated by getting ASF blocked at the daily 5GB max.  Turns out they were downloading from the ASF archive (older nifi releases) instead of the mirrors.  Instead we should add language on our downloads page to make it more clear how to access older releases from mirrors as well.
> This page:  https://archive.apache.org/dist/
> Says:
> Apache Software Foundation Distribution Directory
> The directories linked below contain current software releases from the Apache Software Foundation projects. Older non-recommended releases can be found on our archive site.
> To find the right download for a particular project, you should start at the project's own webpage or on our project resource listing rather than browsing the links below.
> Please do not download from apache.org! If you are currently at apache.org and would like to browse, please visit a nearby mirror site instead.
> --- we should add similar language/guidance.
