Hi Hamish, I spoke to Peter Rice by phone a few weeks back and as I recall he thought the EBI mirrors were handling things OK... but might you be interested in volunteering to help out with the EMBOSS FTP site etc?
CC'ing root-l mailing list to remind our existing small team of volunteer SysAdmins there is an open problem here. My hunch is these EMBOSS bits were on our old portal server which was also hosting the mailing lists, and had to be ported to a new Amazon server at short notice last month: http://news.open-bio.org/news/2014/06/obf-mailing-list-outage/ (The good news is we do have a backup of the dead old server.)
