Dear Mads, the first error message _might_ be due to a dead link, but without further information that's difficult to tell.
The second error message says that curl tried to get the archive using ftp. When you download something through the ccp4 web site your computer is probably using http, and maybe our IT services allow http but not ftp. You should address your IT services with your questions first, because they set their firewall rules, and it is probably more likely that it is indeed these rules that cause the error.
