We recommend you use a mirror to download our release builds, but you must verify the integrity of the downloaded files using signatures downloaded from our main distribution directories. Recent releases (48 hours) may not yet be available from the mirrors.
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.

KEYS
link links to the code signing keys used to sign the product. The PGP
link downloads the OpenPGP compatible signature from our main site.
MD5
link downloads the checksum from the main site.
It is essential that you verify the integrity of the downloaded files using the PGP or MD5 signatures. Please read Verifying Apache Software Foundation Releases for more information on why you should verify our releases.
The PGP signatures can be verified using PGP or GPG. First
download the KEYS
as well as the asc
signature file for the relevant
distribution.
Make sure you get these files from the main distribution site, rather than from a mirror. Then verify the signatures
using
% pgpk -a KEYS
or
% pgpv downloaded_file.asc
% pgp -ka KEYS
or
% pgp downloaded_file.asc
% gpg --import KEYS
% gpg --verify downloaded_file.asc
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.
