Use the links below to download a binary distribution of Ant from
+one of our mirrors. You mustverify the integrity of the downloaded files using
+signatures downloaded from our main distribution directory.
+
Ant is distributed as zip, tar.gz and
+tar.bz2 archives - the contents are the same. Please
+note that the tar.* archives contain file names longer
+than 100 characters and have been created using GNU tar extensions.
+Thus they must be untarred with a GNU compatible version of
+tar.
You are currently using [preferred]. If you encounter a
+problem with this mirror, please select another mirror. If all
+mirrors are failing, there are backup mirrors (at the end of
+the mirrors list) that should be available.
Older releases of Ant can be found here. Those
+releases are only provided as zip archives that can be
+extracted by jar xf archive.zip - we highly
+recommend to not use those releases but upgrade to Ant's latest release.
It is essential that you verify the integrity of the downloaded
+files using the PGP or MD5 signatures.
+
The PGP signatures can be verified using PGP or GPG. First
+download the KEYS
+as well as the asc signature file for the particular
+distribution. Make sure you get these files from the main distribution
+directory, rather than from a mirror. Then verify the signatures
+using
Alternatively, you can verify the MD5 signature on the 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.
+
We highly recommend to verify the PGP signature, though.
