I've been trying for days now, without being able to connect to ftp://ftp.freepascal.org
Now I see where the problem is. This forum adds "http//" in front of the ftp link! You must remove it manually, to get the link working.
I only get "Unable to connect", the IP-address is 193.224.143.26, right?
Could it be that FTP (port 21) is blocked on your system?Can you ping the FTP server?
