In trying to install wget and aspell I am getting 404 errors. It seems that ftpmirror.gnu.org is not resolving to a valid mirror url for my location (I'm in Canada). For instance my closest mirror is the CS Club in Waterloo, aspell is hosted there (I can browse to the file) but the url returned by gnu is: http://mirror.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/gnuaspell/aspell-0.60.6.1.tar.gz which is invalid. Should the mirror link be reverted back to the main GNU link (or at least have the option)?
