[m2e-users] m2eclipse - plugin download fails

[alan79@xxxxxx]

Hello
I'm trying since Friday to downlaod m2eclipse plugin.
But it's always failing with a read timeout:

http://download.eclipse.org/technology/m2e/releases/1.2/1.2.0.20120903-1050/plugins/org.eclipse.m2e.maven.runtime_1.2.0.20120903-0645.jar

http://download.eclipse.org/technology/m2e/releases/1.2/1.2.0.20120903-1050/plugins/org.eclipse.m2e.archetype.common_1.2.0.20120903-0645.jar

The download starts but is very slow.
Then it stops at some point with a read failure.

Just to avoid answers going into wrong direction:
- This has nothing to do with my network settings or my network performance (it's definitely a server side issue)
- It has also nothing to do with my Eclipse installation or any settings - i tried to download the files directly via the browser with the same result.

Any support appreciated!
Thank you and regards
Alan
