When was the last time you tried the links in that post?
Before I posted. And now after. All worked except

If you are having problems with your browser not reaching (several)
sites, it could be traffic is high on the route from you to them, but
it could also be a more local problem. Try lookup the ip address of
the domain you want to reach.
for example for <ftp://ftp.sac.sk/pub/sac/utiltext/pfe101i.zip>
Nslookup ftp.sac.sk returns:
Name: ftp.nextra.sk
Address: 195.168.1.238
Aliases: ftp.sac.sk
If you do not have NSlookup or similar you can try a online
service, such as <
http://network-tools.com>
Then in browser, instead of:
<ftp://ftp.sac.sk/pub/sac/utiltext/pfe101i.zip>
try <ftp://195.168.1.238/pub/sac/utiltext/pfe101i.zip>
if you succeed with the latter but not the former URL then it is
probably a thing with your (or your ISPs) DNS (service/server or
cache). When using a valid numeric ip address your browser will not
have to request a domainname resolution (returns IP) from your dns
name server (and/or cache) first, but can skip that and try reach the
given IP directly.
All the best,
