Ah well spotted.

I just changed the Glib/Pango/GTK+ links to use ftp.gnome.org instead.
However, I noticed that we have a "dependencies" link on ftp.gtk.org. I
have removed that for now on the latest downloads since it was linking
to dependencies for GTK+ 2.10.

I have left the links to GTK+ < 2.10 the same (including the dependency
links).

Should we remove the "dependency" link and switch over to ftp.gnome.org
for the other links too? Matthias?

Sure, but I mean, we do that for ALL pages on gtk.org (with
subsections). I would rather not change the format of ALL pages to
include the title twice (once in the menu up top and again as a heading
on the page).

Andreas, unless you can think of a nice way to do this?
