Works for me, I just tested it. What's the error message?
It is usually a firewall issue. I have been myself for a while behind a
(big serious enterprise) firewall, where ftp works with some servers,
and not with others.
For this reason, if anyhow possible, we should try to offer (at least
additional) http-download links. Actually, just found out, this is
already activated on ftp.lyx.org:
<ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/bin/1.6.1/>
is just the same as
<http://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/bin/1.6.1/>
just that the later is a less problematic http-download.
At least for the binaries, I would suggest to consider changing the
links on the website. What do you think?
