tug.ctan.org also down due to security problem with FTP server program.
by CTAN Announcements 02 Nov '10

02 Nov '10

A security flaw has been found in the the FTP server program that is used at the tug.ctan.org node of CTAN, as noted earler by Rainer. Consequently I shut off this service. I expect that it will be off for a few days, for lack of time to repair it. I apologize for the inconvienence. Individuals who use HTTP would not be immediately affected by this change. Jim
