You can also try wget. It happened to me more than once that I
downloaded files successfully using wget while my web browser claimed
that the server is down.
If you are on Linux you certainly have wget installed already.
There is a wget binary for Windows:
http://users.ugent.be/~bpuype/wget/
Put wget.exe to a directory which is in PATH, probably c:\Program Files\.
Run on the command line:
wget ftp://tug.org/texlive/Images/test/texlivetest-live.iso.bz2
Let me say it again: I downloaded *many* files using wget while web
browsers claimed that the files do not exist or the server is down.
Regards,
Reinhard

Microsoft isn't the answer. Microsoft is the question, and the answer is NO.
