Because the contents were deleted to make room for the 5.3-RELEASE and 
5-STABLE package sets on the FTP sites.

5.2.1-RELEASE was a developer preview release, is known to be buggy and 
is no longer supported.  (Part of "no longer supported" is "packages are 
not generally available on FTP sites").  Upgrading to 5.3-RELEASE-pN or 
  5.3-STABLE is highly recommended.

	Cheers,

	Matthew
