Try using a regular FTP client, instead of a browser.
Well, I tried the ftp.exe program supplied with Windows, and that failed in the same way. Perhaps IP addresses from my ISP are being blocked. This didn't happen before I changed my ISP.
If you cannot get the tz distribution direct from elsie, you can try munnari.oz.au (in the pub directory) - there you can expect to wait between hours and (occasionally) days after a distribution is available on elsie for it to appear, but unless the distribution on elsie lasts only a very short time, it will show up on munnari eventually (and if the elsie one vanishes quickly, its replacement will appear on munnari)
Thanks for the mirror address. Dave C.
