Hello,

I have just noticed that http://ftp.drupal.org is not accessible and we are unable to download any of the files / modules.

Any one? Why this is ...?

Same problem in HK.

Yep - not working for me either. Trying to download google analytics but no joy with this or any other module. (UK)

Likewise from Ireland. Attempting to download files directly via ftp using wget fails, yet I can download them via the http (the website). I can ping the server and it's up, just not listening to ftp requests.

Hmm, that's a little odd as looking at the wget output, it's using http to try to fetch the files too.

Yes, I cannot access it too. Don't know why, but I hope it will be working again as soon as possible.

I think its safe to say it's down globally...

Anyone know how I can get Drush to download modules without ftp? Through CVS maybe? Can't find any documentation anywhere.

Unless you have lots of sites to admin, I'd just do things manually (though I imagine there's a way you can tell Drush to use a specific server for downloading stuff) e.g. assuming you're using linux:

move the module directory
cd sites/all/modules

grab the module file you're after
wget http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/drupal/files/projects/admin_menu-6.x-1.6.tar.gz

uncompress it
tar xzvf admin_menu-6.x-1.6.tar.gz

Then just activate/update etc manually through the website e.g. admin/build/modules/list , update.php etc.

Was just installing a new site so needed 20 - 30 modules, was thinking about doing it the old fashioned way but it seems to be up again now anyway.

Someone has filled a bug report with drupal core: #936832: ftp.drupal.org down

Notably the comments suggest a work around: replace ftp.drupal.org with the acutal server that's used.
e.g. instead of: http://ftp.drupal.org/files/projects/admin_menu-6.x-1.6.tar.gz
use: http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/drupal/files/projects/admin_menu-6.x-1.6.tar.gz

So it looks like this is a problem that's happened before, has made me realise how much I depend on being able to download modules from ftp.drupal.org !
