The NIST servers at that "host" don't work very well for FTP.  That host name 
rotates across their NTP servers and a lot of those sites don't have a FTP 
server on that machine.

Some of the sites work.

The IETF has a copy, but it hasn't been updated yet.

USNO has a similar version:
  ftp://tycho.usno.navy.mil/pub/ntp/
Sometimes it doesn't work.  ??

Meinberg has a version:
