Either contact the authors because you have the wrong URL or contact your network administrator because you have a networking problem.

This has nothing to do with bioinformatics.

My usual troubleshooting method when a link does not work is to, one at a time, remove the last part of the URL until something works. And then generally clicking on the valid links that are found. In your case the siteftp://infogroep.be/pub works.

However in the main I agree with dpryan -- get hold of the authors because you probably have the wrong url.

Vinila86: Are you looking to patch "gnu tar" to support bzip2 using that patch?

That patch appears to be for an old version of tar and is probably not needed any longer.
