I have a fat corporate connection to the Internet but have spent the
last three hours trying to download Eclipse 3.1. Just seeing the
download page was difficult (the New and Noteworthy page is still
refreshing), the mirrors that were listed as having the files finally
admitted they didn't really, and the big download from Canada has
already given out in the middle once. The retry is only about 1/3 done
as I write this.

it's going to be awfully hard to make it at this pace.

Even more if you issue a "million download challenge".

I don't get www.eclipse.org to load right now. Looks like doubling the
bandwidth simply wasn't enough. If people can't even browse the website,
let alone access the mirrors page, maybe the webserver serving the
downloads should be separate from the normal one, if that's somehow
possible. The newsserver seems to be separate as well, as news access is
working OK.
As it looks right now, the Eclipse Foundation has organized a
devastating and long-lasting Denial Of Service attack on itself ;-)

For about 2 hours now we've had a spare server running as a mirror site
on a dedicated 100Mb line. It's been handling it fair share of
requests, and eclipse.org is no longer saturated.
Thanks to everyone for being patient!

Well actually that was why I was trying to download it, to copy it to
our local mirror so nobody else would try to download it :)
