Yes,
http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/technology/epp/downloads/release/kepler/R/eclipse-java-kepler-R-win32.zip
brings up the mirror page, but if you pick one of the links on that
page, then you have a direct link, e.g., this is the direct link for the
foundation side in Canada (from the bottom of the mirror page):
http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/technology/epp/downloads/release/kepler/R/eclipse-java-kepler-R-win32.zip&mirror_id=1

Al,
I see what you mean. What I tried was doing a on
http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/technology/epp/downloads/release/kepler/R/eclipse-standard-kepler-R-win32.zip&mirror_id=1
was "View Page Source" (in Firefox) and in that source I found this:
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh"CONTENT="0;URL=http://download.eclipse.org/technology/epp/downloads/release/kepler/R/eclipse-standard-kepler-R-win32.zip">
So I think it's the
http://download.eclipse.org/technology/epp/downloads/release/kepler/R/eclipse-standard-kepler-R-win32.zip
link that you want (and now you know how to find it).
