Hi FreeBSD Team,

When I try to download the FreeBSD distribution (by clicking on the link
that refers to location:
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/amd64/8.2-RELEASE) , I get an
error "425 Failed to establish connection".

Could you please let me know an alternate working link.

The link is good. You should probably configure your ftp client to use
  passive mode.

And if ftp just won't cooperate with you, you can always go to

http://torrents.FreeBSD.org:8080/

grab a torrent file using HTTP and use a BitTorrent client to get what you need. Unless, of course, your local firewall/network/ISP/etc blocks BitTorrent also.
