I'm afraid that it might be that. I don't know whether this is true in all cases but I think that the ftp-sites are not known to be very stable. I have also had problems with the ftp client side that might not work stable. And who uses ftp these days for download? I've previously announced that I'm looking into improving the package situation possibly by using another client than ftp, like curl or wget, even getting libcurl support included in the core. So we could have http based archives. However I'm afraid I've been busy with other stuff so much that I have forgotten all about this and I need to start it all over again if I will find the time for it at all.
