Hi - Both it and the mirror are up and running. There are quite a few netblocks that have portscanned/spammed/whatever me here (dialups and cablemodems for the most part) and they're listed in the packet filters so if you're seeing timeouts, etc connecting that's probably the reason. Companies play the "musical domain name" everytime they have a re-organization (and, sigh, another one is in the works as I type). What was listed was probably a name from the last reorganization and of course it's very difficult to track down all the places that an old name was used. The mirror I maintain at work is: ftp://ftp.cato.gd-ais.com (for some time yet it will also respond to 'ftp.to.gd-es.com') There may be other sites that also mirror Others have done that - usually it's not too bad, especially if I'm asleep at the time :) Sequence is important because the patches are diffs against the last current version of a file. Each patch has rather good (if I do say so myself ;)) instructions and explainations of what was changed, how to apply, what to rebuild immediately (and what can be deferred until it is convenient).
