You entered exactly the string above and clicked the "add" button next
to the text box? Does ftp://ftp.octave.org then appear in the list of
download sites and is it highlighted?

I don't think this matters (it works fine for me without that file).
I am doing this from outside the che.wisc.edu domain (where
ftp.octave.org is hosted).

Hmm. Are you behind some kind of firewall?
If ftp is the problem, then perhaps I need to make it possible to use
http as well?
