It's a 404 message. Try a repository that does have it. The CMU  
repository has a copy but the one you picked does not seem to have one  
at the moment. Maybe there was a run on the British bit and the bit  
banks are a wee short?

Runs are by definition in the order of TeraBits. Bits are peanuts and freely
available.
