@Mailaender From what I gather from that documentation page, the way I am linking the files here is correct(ish).

Link to your download files like this:  Acceptable: https://download.eclipse.org/path/to/a/file.zip      Preferred: https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/path/to/a/file.zip

The "Acceptable" way is what I use here. The "Preferred" way links to an HTML page for mirror selection, which won't work here.

The "Acceptable" way, as it is described on that page:

Get a file from a random mirror, without prompting

Please let me know if I misunderstood anything. From what I gather here, there is a distinct difference between what the documentation reads (Downloading from a random mirror), and from what my browser does (Downloading from downloads.eclipse.org, no redirects involved here). The only option I see is using a specific mirror directly.

@Mailaender I will look into it, thank you for that reminder.

Please don't use the Eclipse download server directly. Use a mirror instead, as their own infrastructure does not scale. https://gitlab.eclipse.org/eclipsefdn/helpdesk/-/wikis/IT_Infrastructure_Doc#use-mirror-sitessee-which-mirrors-are-mirroring-my-files

I have adopted and updated the package, this should fix the issues reported below v

I getting the following messages when trying to install this package:

I made it work applying the patch:
