The URL loads OK for me in firefox; could it be that you used to access the URL in question with a client that automatically attempted anonymous login, and now you are using a different client, or that the client is no longer attempting anonymous login on your behalf due to a software update / configuration change? E.g. when using the "ftp ftp-archive.freebsd.org" command in a shell, the ftp login prompt comes up and you must type in a user/pass to continue (but anonymous:anonymous seems to be working just fine).
