Hi there,
This issue has gone on long enough. I've
posted a patch for the mirror trender, which will handle
redirects.
http://git.polarsys.org/c/polarsys.org/downloads.git/commit/?id=2843f10c81f20660e8536fd21140dec4858ed4e5
I'll deploy it in a few minutes.

Hi!
Our mirror, ftp.acc.umu.se, don't seem to get any traffic.
I know we've had this issue previously, but now it seems to be
even worse than before.
The main issue is likely that the mirror status checking thingie
used by eclipse.org doesn't accept the redirects provided by
ftp.acc.umu.se as valid replies. It's hard to know however, as I
haven't found any page listing the actual mirror status as seen by
the eclipse.org system.
The thing is, ftp.acc.umu.se is comprised by a few frontends that
only serve small files and redirects large files to a larger
number of offload hosts. See https://ftp.acc.umu.se/about/ for
more details if you are interested.
Anyhow, for our mirror these redirects are completely normal and
NOT an error!
Download redirectors such as Mirrorbits and MirrorBrain can be
configured to be aware of this, and we sincerely hope that the
download redirector system used by eclipse.org can be convinced to
do so as well.
On behalf of the ftp.acc.umu.se admins,
