Trying a mirror...
==> Downloading https://www-us.apache.org/dist/commons/bcel/binaries/bcel-6.3.1-bin.tar.gz*

and finally gives an error

Update:

The problem has already been reported at homebrew-core. And a fix pr-44608 is waiting to be merged.

# use the pull request temporarily
brew install https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/raw/7f6d84a68ce8898d5f8bb1add2ed6d624cbb9598/Formula/ant.rb

# install buck from facebook/homebrew-fb
brew install buck

The buck formula from tap facebook/homebrew-fb depends on formula ant. And download URL of the dependency bcel is broken in formula ant.

You didn't do anything wrong. It's a problem on the tap side. Open an issue under homebrew/homebrew-core and report this problem to them.

class Ant < Formula
  desc "Java build tool"
  homepage "https://ant.apache.org/"

  # ...

  resource "bcel" do
    # this url is broken, causing the build of `ant` failed
    url "https://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi?path=commons/bcel/binaries/bcel-6.3.1-bin.tar.gz"
    sha256 "ed1d281cb66dedb89611019168071fe22a50ff325253e2c453dc00423905cf9d"
