Description:
Workbench 5.1.18a GA HTTP and FTP mirror downloads do not work error received:

"That file does not exist on our download mirrors."

this has held true for all the north american mirrors and for Europe UK mirrors

please advise

How to repeat:
>Go to Downloads page under http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/
>Sroll to mySQL Workbench and select the active link
>Scroll down and select "Operating System"
>select "microsoft Windows" as the oprating system
>next to Windows (x86, 32-bit), MSI Installer select the active link "pick a   
 mirror"
>Select any mirror under North America...either the HTTP, or FTP link

>results should give you an error

Suggested fix:

linkage error reconnect the broken/missing link for the download

It is here:
ftp://mirrors.dotsrc.org/mysql/Downloads/MySQLGUITools/mysql-workbench-oss-5.1.18a-win32.m...

(this mirror is one major Sun-operated FTP site located in Denmark)

However the page
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mirror.php?id=373158#mirrors
.. gives the FTP link for dotscr.org FTP:

http://dev.mysql.com/get/Downloads/MySQLDeveloperSuite/mysql-workbench-oss-5.1.18a-win32.m...
.. what is a broken link.

1) I specified a FTP download but get a HTTP download 
2) 'MySQLDeveloperSuite' seems to be a non-existing folder

Thank you for the report.

Verified as described.

Looks like it does not exist on any mirror.

@sveta .. the file is there in this folder 
ftp://mirrors.dotsrc.org/mysql/Downloads/MySQLGUITools/
(also University of Aachen, Germany and Easynet, Belgium have the file in same position in the FTP tree)

.. but the links from http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mirror.php?id=373158#mirrors are incorrect.

For 5.2.8 beta the link is also incorrect:
http://dev.mysql.com/get/Downloads/MySQLGUITools/mysql-workbench-oss-5.2.8-beta-win32.msi/...

It should be (when selecting FTP option):
http://dev.mysql.com/get/Downloads/MySQLGUITools/mysql-workbench-oss-5.2.8-beta-win32.msi/...

('from/ftp' and not 'from/http'). Actually both links work though so not a big issue here.

the http/ftp mismatch seems to be an issue with FTP link to dotscr.org only.

Joanne,

this should be fixed now. Please try.
