well the logs still have a fair number of false positives.
This partly due to the mirror script being a bit careless at times in
what it should consider a valid url and the other part is url's that we
once had and referenced in say a press release that are no longer valid
(be it website reorg or a decision to rename directories on the ftp site).
otoh it seems that we have at least one really broken URL in the press
FAQ page - will see if we can fix that ...
