Well, the date for the end of the transition has been announced: "As of
AUGUST 14, 2016, all unsecured connections will be rejected by IBM
download servers used for all z/OS product and service orders."

As I suggested in March, if you haven't done so already, its time to
upgrade your download processes before you're stuck with no
direct-to-z/OS download capability.
