The new versions will named I have just found out that the IP-address of ftp.funet.fi has changed to 128.214.248.6 . I am not sure when this has happened, but for me the old one seems to work aswell as the new ... A report from UK tells that the old address is not valid any more. Fortunately, the name ftp.funet.fi works in most cases. But if it doesn't, try the new IP-address.
