mysql-4.1.10 won't fetch files from freebsd ftp

[jeff at linguafrankly.com]

   Hi,
   I tried to install the MySQL-4.1.10.tar.gz from the ports collection
   but the install script halts with an error saying the file can't be
   found/ no access, and there don't appear to be any mirrors.
   I've tried several days in a row but in the meantime other ports
   install fine.
   Thanx, Jeff
