 Sigh.
 
 Please read http://savannah.nongnu.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=2838
 with more attention: "We kindly ask project administrators to verify
 the integrity of those files and use the following procedure to upload
 them to the new file areas on Savannah.".
 
 This clearly means that ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/savannah/files is a
 temporary area, used to make available the pre-compromise files to
 project administrators.
 
 Regarding http://savannah.nongnu.org/download/, it's empty unless the
 project administrator decided to upload files to it.
 
 Conclusion, you are wrong.
