For archivers/xpk, the file has moved from:

http://www.jormas.com/~vesuri/xpk/xpk-0.1.4.tar.gz

to

http://vesuri.jormas.com/xpk/xpk-0.1.4.tar.gz

For security/donkey, the file can no longer be found at:

ftp://ftp.aist-nara.ac.jp/pub/Security/tool/donkey/donkey-0.5.tar.gz

but I found a mirror at:

http://www.netsw.org/system/tools/password/auth/skey/donkey-0.5.tar.gz

and verified the MD5 sum.
