I don't know if this is typical ups and downs, but the links on that page
didn't work too well for me
(browser = clicking on ftp link in browser; ftp = ftp command line client)
ftp://llug.sep.bnl.gov/pub/debian/Incoming/ times out, whether through
browser or ftp
ftp://debian.midco.net/debian/Incoming/ got permission error through
browser, later discovered I could access via ftp)
ftp://ftp.jp.debian.org/debian-incoming/ I ended up using this through
browser
I'm on the west coast of US, using MSIE 4 as a browser client on MS NT 4.
Also Bruce Sass's suggestion,
http://lully.debian.org/~aph/ gives me an http 404--page could not be found.
I am not a Debian developer; I don't know if that's the cause of any of the
trouble with the downloads.
P.S. I thought the references to 2.2.6 might be from team members who were
compiling it from source.
