Yeah, did you disable your firewall? Those kinds of programs can
have problems with firewalls because they many times have to
download off-site data. Also a lot of servers have them blocked
at some level. But in that particular case it looks like a Yahoo
problem. Unless that's "their version" of a 404 not found. ?? I
say that because the other pages are still up.

This thread prompted me to try to download the site using the
HTTrack website copier, <http://www.httrack.com/>. Downloaded
about 7.45MB (over 1,000 files in more than 80 folders). The
download log reported 573 errors, e.g.
"Service Temporarily Unavailable" (503) at link (from
www.geocities.com/buddychai/Religion/ChristianitysSin.html
www.geocities.com/buddychai/Religion/TheHolocaust.html)
Re FTP client, have found that FileZilla,
<http://filezilla-project.org/>, works well on the websites I
maintain or assist in the maintenance.
