You may notice that older artifacts on the dist site (dist.codehaus.org) are now redirecting to ibiblio.

This has been done to lower the load on the Codehaus boxes and reduce the amount of bandwidth we’re using (up in the terabytes/month – spikes of 25.5M/second).

Contegix has been very supportive of our growth, but now we have to lessen the traffic usage or face increased costs in the near future.

This may impact older Maven clients. If this is a huge impact, we might be able to permit direct access if they have identifiable User-Agents set. Otherwise… tough…

Only artifacts older than 24 hours will redirect to the ibiblio mirrors. So if you put new files out there, they will not redirect until ibiblio has had an opportunity to synchronise them.

UPDATE

dist mirroring has been disabled due to ibiblio being out of date. repository.codehaus.org mirroring has been enabled.

UPDATE

This all broke Maven 2 somehow. So we’ve disabled it.

In the near future we’ll be teaming up with ibiblio to offer mirroring of just Codehaus distributions.
