Thanks, that "June 4" reference could be the reason, but I'd think too many webpages would be blocked if it were. (Of course, I had to look at the .in version of that blogspot page as HK's version, like many others, is blocked in the mainland.)
The FTP site works for me. I visit Hong Kong often enough so not having access to the latest internet stuff isn't usually a problem for very long.
