My suggestion was to provide developers privileged access to downloads from Eclipse.org servers to solve the problem and so Denis asked me to file a bug. It was fixed in less than one week.

So if you are an eclipse committer next time you go to download.eclipse.org pay close attention to the download site:

Yes it is the small things that matter!
