Actually I myself have found all the FTP sites for DJGPP in a mess lately.
I did a search for DJGPP on the web and found two FTP sites that just had
the old DESCRIPTIONS file in the directory with nothing else there, then
one with a readme as well saying it was moved to another site, to which I
went, only to discover another "We've moved" notice pointing to the third.
There I finally found DJGPP binaries and zips.
(Can't remember the site offhand.)
Also, the web search didn't turn up the DJGPP home page, which was my real
target. Some kind soul on this ng told me it was http://djgpp.delorie.com
or something very similar which I bookmarked so as never to lose it again!
The Powers That Be should resubmit this page to all the major searchers
and yahoo and that I think... It must have gotten lost, maybe they changed
the address and didn't resubmit it and the old addresses were expired by
the searchers because they were nonexistent.
