This is the page that allows users to pick mirror sites based on 
filename.zip.  If filename.zip isn't found in the (mirrored) 
download.eclipse.org area, it will look for it on archive.eclipse.org.

This is the only one that you should use.  It is documented in the 
Committer Tools 'How Do I' section about downloads.

That is the Eclipse project's script to display Release Notes if 
filename.zip requires them.  Once user has read said Notes, they are 
whisked off the the first script 
(www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=) for mirror selection.


Hope this helps.
