Ah yes, it appears Ximian has at least closed it's FTP server (or at least has broken it for the time being). That's a shame. Thanks for letting us know.
However, a few dead links does not make a sloppy site. If you'd like to volunteer to either provide a stable web space to host the rpm packages (as well as building them, especially customising them for the different distributions) or ust check the website daily for dead links, I'm sure you'd be gratefully welcomed, though you should probably leave your ego at the door and understand that the Internet is a regularly changing environment. As it happens, there is a very clear link to the source code for the product - which is what this project is meant to provide. It is certainly not required for us to provide binaries - that is often work for the maintainer of the distribution. We even go as far as providing simple instructions on how to create the binaries from the source code. I'm sorry if this is beyond you - but if it is, I wouldn't recommend you use Linux any more.
