an error in installing setiathome and ksetisaver

[Cybe R. Wizard]

Here's synaptic's message: 

Setting up setiathome (3.08-4) ...

Errors were encountered while processing:
 setiathome
 ksetisaver

Doing <sudo dpkg --configure setiathome> reveals that:

Doing <ping 128.32.18.176> finds the server, and the site,
ssl.berkeley.edu is there, but no alien.ssl.berkeley.edu

It seems that the setup needs
setiathome-3.08.i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar 
from ftp://alien.ssl.berkeley.edu/pub/
dropped into  /temp/fileEAOeQi  so I 
<wget (sorry about this wrap)
ftp://alien.ssl.berkeley.edu/pub/setiathome-3.08.i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar>
and get this:
--12:39:29--

and that just repeats over and over.

Is this a temporary outage thing or possibly a bug?
