I did, but somehow the letter did not appear in the mailing list
archives. Anyway, ab/ and mike/ are absolutely correct, our hard drives
have gone to pieces after an accidental switch-off. AFAIK, the work is
almost done, new hard drives are tested and installed and a backup is
currently being copied to them. Hopefully, today or tomorrow we'll have
ftp.altlinux.org back running.
