Let's just say that nic.funet.fi is THE largest public (anon)ftp site in
Europe so I'm PRETTY certain that the problem is not with nic.. It's
somewhere either between Chip's site and Nic or at Chip's site.

The problem is between your site and nic - some server down or something..

Browsers _are_ stupid :) :)
Anyway - try one of these :
ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/sci/electrical/tesla
ftp://nic.funet.fi/pub/sci/electrical/tesla
http://www.funet.fi/pub/sci/electrical/tesla
They point _basicly_ to the same site but because of routing in
tcp/ip some may work while others don't because of servers down
between nic and YOUR site.
As a final comment : Nic can sometimes be down but not for long. The usual
reason may be that there are already so many users in the system that it
won't let any more - there are limits for the amount of foreign visitors
like in all anon-ftp sites.
I hope this helps,
Kristian Ukkonen.
ps. real men use ftp anyway _and_ not some _stupid_ browser <G> >:)
