>We receive the following message :

>Can you help us.?

This appears to be a problem on a proxy server at your site.  I checked
the read permissions on the files that you are attempting to access,
and they permit FTP.  I then logged onto a machine at the University
of Virginia, and FTPed the files to it using anonymous FTP with
no problems.

If the problem was a timeout, please try again at a time when the
networks are less busy.  If you still have a problem, please try the
FTP from another machine at your site, preferably using FTP directly,
not using your web browser.
