It works from here -- Of course the two systems are literally next door.

Let them eat cake. :-).  Seriouly, since my only connection out of my
home machine is a 2400 modem, I do sympathize.  On the other hand,
what is the alternative?  Is there a site where this type of things
(386 binaries) would be more at home?

If anyone is interested in having the TeX binaries and doesn't  have
any reasonable way of downloading, drop me a line.  We can work
something out with 5 1/4 floppies and the post office.
