I am running ant fresh_install and I am unable to download geolite database file.
Am getting the below error. I am also unable to download the file manually. Are the geolite services down or there is something else I need to do?

 [echo] Downloading: http://geolite.maxmind.com/download/geoip/database/GeoLite2-City.tar.gz

Yes, the data provider has changed their terms due to some newly approved Californian privacy law taking effect immediately.
You need to register and set up downloading the data outside of DSpace. A patch for DSpace will be included in the next update, but you still need to register.
