[cross-project-issues-dev] What's up with download.eclipse.org?

[Thomas Hallgren <thomas@xxxxxxx>]

I know that we've had a new release and that some congestion regarding 
downloads is to be expected, but the current problems is beyond what 
I've experienced on previous occasions. It seems more or less impossible 
to download anything at present. I'm often not even able to get the P2 
meta-data.

By viewing the logs, I see that requests to download.eclipse.org gets 
redirected to an Amazon cloudfront server. That server then responds 
with an XML stream similar to this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Error><Code>AccessDenied</Code><Message>Access 
Denied</Message><RequestId>A1DF9DCCBC4DE7A6</RequestId><HostId>/KYrW+ew8AGC2gHTVxnq4Erj4KT80D2VQeZSlmxFCDNlBbykCe+ZNGxp9KoFrlLz</HostId></Error>

Here's an example using wget to obtain an existing file:

wget

I get this all the time. The response is quite fast so I don't think 
it's due to congestion. Does others see this too?
