I have no trouble accessing either of those files. Keep in mind that servers do
not have 100% uptime (and the people responsible for uptime do not monitor this
forum), and any local network problems you may be having cannot be addressed
here. So, in general you need to try more servers, confirm the file you want
does exist, verify that your local network is functioning, and practice a little
patience.
