[cross-project-issues-dev] GMF corrupted on some mirrors?

I think some of the mirrors got a corrupted jar file for GMF, could you check it out? Upon trying to install the full Callisto I got the following error, reproducable, from two different mirrors:

Problem Occurred
Unable to complete action for feature "Graphical Modeling Framework (Callisto Edition)" due to errors.
  The File "C:\DOCUME~1\sasebb\LOCALS~1\Temp\eclipse\.update\1151951125329\1151951125339\eclipse18438.tmp" is not a valid JAR file. [error in opening zip file]
  The File "C:\DOCUME~1\sasebb\LOCALS~1\Temp\eclipse\.update\1151951125329\1151951125339\eclipse18438.tmp" is not a valid JAR file. [error in opening zip file]

The two mirrors I tried were:
   Georgia Tech. Software Library (http)
   SAS Institute Inc. (http) [internal mirror for SAS employees]

When I switched the mirror to:
   Eclipse Foundation Callisto Mirror 2 (http) [I can't remember if it was mirror 1 or 2]

then it downloaded and installed GMF with no problem.

I was about to open a bugzilla for this but noticed there was already one open:

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=149366

(they were using the SWITCH mirror in Switzerland)

It's kind of annoying because when GMF fails to install, everything after it is thrown out too, so you have to re-download a bunch of stuff. Also if you have the Preferences > Install/Update > Automatically select mirrors option turned on (like I did), and the automatic mirror is bad, you have to turn the option off and manually select a mirror to make it work.
