Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] Slow/Unreliable Eclipse Neon Repository

[Ed Merks <ed.merks@xxxxxxxxx>]

Andreas,

There seems to be a general problem with mirrors not being 
available/used/specified, as in the earlier post yesterday from Wim 
Jongman titled "Something wrong with the mirrors."

This link currently yields an empty list of mirrors:

https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?format=xml&file=/releases/neon/201606221000&countryCode=us&timeZone=1&format=xml

In Firefox I must use View Page Source to see the XML.  Or use this link 
with yields HTML:

https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/releases/neon/201606221000&countryCode=us&timeZone=1

When this is empty, the installer will just use download.eclipse.org 
directly.  And when it's also bad for the downloaded packages, they'll 
be downloaded from download.eclipse.org.  If enough people are doing 
that, the server will be horribly slow, and it has been for days now...

Regards,
Ed
