Yes. I can't recall the exact address that was discontinued, but I
know ftp-linux.cc.gatech.edu was promoted to take its place.

After I sent that email I found out that retrieving files in passive
mode is still not working. I can download files using ncftp if I don't
enter passive mode. I'm having difficulty getting pacman to not use
passive mode, though :(
