After recent updates to leapseconds.awk to include IERS as a source for leap-seconds.list, one URL given for the file at NIST still is ftp://ftp.nist.gov/pub/time/leap-seconds.list:

print "# This file is generated automatically from the data in the public-domain" print "# NIST/IERS format leap-seconds.list file, which can be copied from" print "# <https://hpiers.obspm.fr/iers/bul/bulc/ntp/leap-seconds.list>" print "# or, in a variant with different comments, from" print "# <ftp://ftp.nist.gov/pub/time/leap-seconds.list>" print "# or <ftp://ftp.boulder.nist.gov/pub/time/leap-seconds.list>."

However, at least for me, and at this time, the hostname ftp.nist.gov <http://ftp.nist.gov/> does not resolve. ftp.boulder.nist.gov <http://ftp.boulder.nist.gov/> does resolve.
