The current status I find of the 15 mirrors listed make chances of getting the source if the first one at apache.org is down very unlikely. One has a changed path, one points to the wrong server and the right one doesn't have 1.3.20, there are 6 that no longer mirror, one refuses connections, two time out, one doesn't have 1.3.20, which leave only 2 mirror sites that have the tarball. Grim isn't it. Further it seems that the official mirror list (http://www.apache.org/mirrors/) lists some mirrors that have been dead for over a year. David, I'm verifying mirrors for all the following apache* ports: apache13+ipv6 apache13-fp apache13-modssl apache13-ssl apache13 apache2 apache13-contrib Also trying to provide some consistency to them, which is made more fun by the SSL and FP variants. Figure those would be sorted with the extra required distfiles first and that should reduce the number of mirrors hit before all distfiles are fetched. Will preserve apache-contrib's %SUBDIR% usage when sorting and will add a few mirrors most likely, as one is out of date leaving only 3. Could use an opinion on whether to use still out-of-date mirrors when 1.3.20 was released was on May 15th. Considering there are number of others to replace them with.
