I'm guessing that the real problem is that many service providers
caches are caching based on URL's without resolving the hostname
component.
This would cause problems in the case of a host like ftp.netscape.com
which resolves to many hosts:
Name: ftp.netscape.com
Addresses: 204.152.166.60, 204.152.166.61, 207.200.74.21, 207.200.74.22
209.143.199.10, 209.143.199.11, 209.143.199.12, 207.200.74.25, 207.200.74.26
207.200.71.59, 204.152.166.47
My service provider is using Squid 1.2 beta 25 currently.
So, as David Cross suggests, wait for all the mirrors to be populated
or connect straight to particular mirrors suchs as ftp3.netscape.com
that are known to have the development versions.
Now I can get Netscape to re-get a URL directly with shift-Reload, but
how do you tell fetch to do the same thing ?? (for when the cache is
reporting the wrong thing).

"If it is true that our Universe has a zero net value for all conserved
quantities, then it may simply be a fluctuation of the vacuum of some
larger space in which our Universe is imbedded. In answer to the
question of why it happened, I offer the modest proposal that our
Universe is simply one of those things which happen from time to time."
