Hi Alex, I just did a quick test, I and my Chinese fellows in different cities have confirmed the whole website of http://antlr3.org/ (including any sub webpages) is totally blocked in China.
On the other hand, we can access the webpage of http://search.maven.org/ with no problem, and I also typed some string like "flex" into the search input, from the search results I clicked some jar files to download, they can be downloaded pretty well. Hope it helps : ) DarkStone 2014-05-22 At 2014-05-22 12:16:57, "Alex Harui" <aha...@adobe.com> wrote: >Hi Darkstone, > >We are trying to understand the restrictions on downloads in China.
