## Download from your nearest mirror site!

Do not download from www.apache.org. Please use a mirror site to help us save apache.org bandwidth. Go here to find your nearest mirror.

## Binary Releases

Are available in the binaries/ directory. Every binary distribution contains an install script. See README for details.

## Current Releases

For details on current releases, please see the Apache Tomcat Connectors Download Page.

Note; the -src.zip versions of Apache Tomcat Connectors are nearly identical to the .tar.gz versions. However, they offer the source files in DOS/Windows CR/LF text format, and include the Winows build files. These -src.zip files do NOT contain binaries! See the binaries/windows/ directory for the Windows binary distributions.

## Older Releases

Only current, recommended releases are available on www.apache.org and the mirror sites. Older releases can be obtained from the archive site.

## PGP Signatures

All of the release distribution packages have been digitally signed (using PGP or GPG) by the Apache Tomcat Group members that constructed them. There will be an accompanying `distribution.asc` file in the same directory as the distribution. The PGP keys can be found at the MIT key repository and within this project's KEYS file.

Always use the signature files to verify the authenticity of the distribution, e.g.,

    % pgpk -a KEYS
    % pgpv tomcat-connectors-1.2.33-src.tar.gz.asc
    or,
    % pgp -ka KEYS
    % pgp tomcat-connectors-1.2.33-src.tar.gz.asc
    or,
    % gpg --import KEYS
    % gpg --verify tomcat-connectors-1.2.33-src.tar.gz.asc

We offer MD5 and SHA1 hashes as an alternative to validate the integrity of the downloaded files. A unix program called `md5` or `md5sum` is included in many unix distributions. It is also available as part of GNU Textutils. Windows users can get binary md5 programs from here, here, or here.
