http://ftp-master.debian.org/new/ not accessible any more

[Andreas Tille <andreas@an3as.eu>]

Hi,

I noticed that the ftpnew gatherer for UDD is currently broken.  The
reason is that it is usually fetching files via

   wget -q -r -N --level=2 --no-parent --no-directories http://ftp-master.debian.org/new/

but if you try

   wget http://ftp-master.debian.org/new/

It seems it is forbidden to read the web dir directly.  Any reason for
this and if it is intentional what would be the alternative to fetch
data about packages in new?

Kind regards

         Andreas.
