I'm not exactly sure how to take your message:
At this point my very sarcastic nature takes it as a "Hey, dufus if you'd just 
searched Google you wouldn't have bothered the list" in which case I'd 
respond  in a very sharp tone letting you know that this question was posted 
a full 2 days before the fallback was online, and some other sharp quips.

However, I'm trying to suppress that because its not nice, nor accurate, and 
its very annoying to others who would refrain from helping me in the future.  
So, I'm gonna take it as "Hey, I just found out from searching Google that 
its now, this . . ." and respond in kind to your help:

Thanks, I meant to post this as soon as I found out, but I also got a message 
from the maintainer that they have the real freecontrib up, but its moving.
Quote, "It seems to be back online.
But I have also started the migration to zarb.org, but it isn't finished yet, 
so http://packages.freecontrib.org will stay the main mirror for the moment."  
So, you beat me to posting it.  

So we'll both need to be on the look out for when it changes to zarb.org.

Its amazing at how complicated communication can get!  :-D
