Barrie, After some more testing it must be my misunderstanding. I tried the links below in FireFox and they worked (aka. they redirected me to a page listing mirrors.) For some reason my Safari installation is not, but only on the tar.gz links, the .zip links go to the mirror listings.
It must be something with my Safari browser. Sorry about the false alarm.
