ftp.freepascal.org inaccessible?
dW2005:
Hello, don't know if its only me, but can't access the FTP for last 24 hours or so (trying to build fpc+lazarus on fresh raspbian install, but fpcupdeluxe fails to fetch the bootstrap compiler)
trace looks like this:

The ftp link does appear dead on my side too. There were issues with maintaining the old infrastructure, perhaps the ftp service was shut down with the old svn service.
Is there not another download option such as Sourceforge fpcupdeluxe? Also, are you using the latest fpcupdeluxe version? If any of the old links are not available anymore I'm sure Alfred would have updated fpcupdeluxe.

It surely can wait, of course. Just had to make sure it's not at my end, internet censorship in my country is kinda lame, they sometimes do weird blockings for no apparent reasons.

There are also online sites that can do a lookup on your behalf (so you can check if an address is visible from another point of view). One example is https://ping.eu/

As a general point there's also the issue of FTP support being dropped by various browsers. There's the obvious possibility that if this is actually being done in a library, then it will have a knock-on effect if something else tries to be "clever" and invoke a facility that no longer works... this would hardly be the first time that a developer assumes that because an API is open-source it must be stable.
