Dear Holger,

Please give a better report!  What do you mean by "blocked"?  Can you
include the "blocking" message you get in your email?

I'm assuming the ftp server has too many active users.  If so, you can
look at the list of mirrors at:

gsl is indeed GPLed.  And the login name and password are:

login: anonymous
passwd: your-email-address
