By "the first master site" I assume you mean by the first URL, i.e.:

  http://www.graphviz.org/pub/graphviz/ARCHIVE/graphviz-2.30.1.tar.gz

Well, I just did try that and I am still getting the same result.  In fact,
it appears to me that the entire web site of "www.graphviz.org" is most
seriously and entirely baroque.... I mean busted, kaput, blewie, snafued,
hosed in a major way.

Please look for yourself.

I've tried looking at the home page on that site and every version of the
URL for the (alleged) .gz file between the full path of the .gz file and
the home page of the web site, and all of these display as nothing but
a blank page.  I've reproduced this is both FireFox and Opera.

I think that _somebody_ has really and totally effed up that site.

But anyway, meanwhile, back here on earth, forget about THAT for a
second... How come a copy of the dist file is *also* not available
(still) from ftp.FreeBSD.org ??

I'm filing a PR.  This is really broke.

(I wouldn't even care, but graphviz is apparently a dependency of something
else I need to build.  Grrrrr.)
