Bug Description

Binary package hint: b43-fwcutter

If you're peruvian you'll have no wireless.

The package b43-fwcutter includes a script that needs to download a file to install the wireless driver.
When the script executes:
wget http://downloads.openwrt.org/sources/wl_apsta-3.130.20.0.o
The download times out.

I reported this as part of the bug #553704 and got two responses saying that the site is not down and that they can download the file without problem.

I am in Peru and my ISP Telefonica and I cannot download that file.
I asked a friend in Argentina and she downloaded the file without problems.
If not funny enough: I CAN read the file listing of http://downloads.openwrt.org/sources/ using google translator, but NOT directly from the browser.
I asked a friend in my city to download the same file from a computer using ms windows and he could not download the file.

So, I think that server is filtering my ISP's IPs or something. Who is responsible for such a thing? :(
