Hi Ahmed,

    I am trying to download the proTeXt ISO image but I am unable to
    access the FTP link provided on https://www.tug.org/protext/

I don't know what happened to ftp.fernuni-hagen.de (I assume that's what
you're referring to). Thomas? The hostname no longer resolves in DNS.

In any case, you can download protext from
http://mirror.ctan.org/systems/windows/protext.  That automatically
chooses a nearby CTAN mirror. If the one chosen does not work, you can
select one manually from https://ctan.org/mirrors and then navigate to
systems/windows/protext in that mirror's interface.

Hope this helps,
Karl
