# Download Apache JMeter

## Download Apache JMeter

We recommend you use a mirror to download our release
builds, but you **must** [verify the integrity](http://www.apache.org/info/verification.html) of
the downloaded files using signatures downloaded from our main
distribution directories. Recent releases (48 hours) may not yet
be available from all 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.

Other mirrors:

The `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.
The `SHA-512` link downloads the sha512 checksum from the main site.
Please [verify the integrity](http://www.apache.org/info/verification.html)
of the downloaded file.

For more information concerning Apache JMeter, see the [Apache JMeter](http://jmeter.apache.org/) site.
