We've never published URL's like that; the ones we publish are
http://www.openafs.org/dl/software/openafs
ftp://ftp.central.org/pub/software/openafs

The distinction is important because ftp.central.org is about to move to a 
different machine, just as dl.openafs.org has.  In fact, until you 
mentioned it, I didn't realize the change hadn't already been made, which 
is why we determined it would be safe to remove the old machine's local 
copies of openafs releases in order to free up space for putting together 
the 1.4.0rc2 release.

In the meantime, if you can't get what you need via http or out of AFS, let 
me know off-list and I can repopulate part of the old FTP server.
