Yep, but if you read the rest of my message you'll see that the files on
ftp.gnu.org are not actually there: they were removed when the system
was cracked and they have not been replaced yet.  So, I'm looking for a
new place to get the latest versions from.

When I release a GNU program I don't want to use whatever random
versions I happen to have lying around on my system.  I want the latest
stuff.
