Download problems

Hello.

My host OS is Ubuntu 9.10, and i wish to install FreeBSD as guest system via VirtualBox. But i just can't download it...

I click here (http://www.freebsd.org/where.html)

and then get this page (ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/ISO-IMAGES/8.0/) like this:

There is nothing out of this white rectangular.

I also tried to connect to this ftp page by other browsers than Firefox (Opera and Chrome) but they just can't connect. Tried this with FileZilla and realized that i can't even connect to ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/:

I checked in Firefox and found that i can successfully connect to ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/

but when i try to open FreeBSD directory i just get no list:

What could be the problem?

Just few days ago i could successfully download amd64 version but then realized that it is not compatible with VirtualBox on my computer. And when i tried to download i386 version it became clear that i can't: nor i386, nor amd64, nor anything else.

Therefore i suspect that the problem could be on my system but i have no idea where to begin...

I'll be grateful for any advices.

PS. Sorry for my bad english. It's not my native language. I hope that i succeeded to explain the problem as clear as possible.

The guest OS list at virtualbox.org does not mention FreeBSD as "working".

Right, but i still want to try.

Your firewall may interfere with ftp, did you change something?

I didn't. And i checked the firewall - everything is just like it was.

You can download over http, too:

Well, thank you! :)

I was so foolish that just didn't think about mirrors :D

Mirrors work fine! Though, the main download ftp still behaves the same way for me... I have no idea why. So be it. :)
