Vendor neutrality is important. Why isn't it possible to publish to
download.eclipse.org (or whatever.eclipse.org) and then mirror the bits
you need?

Becoming a mirror is dead easy.

Frankly, I don't really see who is too blame for the issue. It could
very likely be a bug in the software being used. It could also be a user
error. In any case, you certainly can't expect that such issues won't
happen even if you hire dedicated server operators.

That confuses me a bit. Anybody is free to setup an Eclipse mirror at
their will. No negotiation is necessary. Can't Sonatype just mirror
maven.eclipse.org as others mirror download.eclipse.org? I'm pretty sure
Denis is willing to allow rsync from maven.eclipse.org as well.
