Hi,

today i got two reports that downloading the texlive source tarball 
didn't work:

wget 
ftp://tug.org/historic/systems/texlive/2016/texlive-20160523b-source.tar.xz
--2016-10-29 14:20:21--
ftp://tug.org/historic/systems/texlive/2016/texlive-20160523b-source.tar.xz
            => 'texlive-20160523b-source.tar.xz'
Resolving tug.org (tug.org)... 130.225.2.178
Connecting to tug.org (tug.org)|130.225.2.178|:21... connected.

I can't reproduce this, all works fine here.
Anyway, and beside that there's also the rsync-able svn, i didn't find 
an "official" mirror as alternative download location.
On ctan there is 
http://mirrors.ctan.org/systems/texlive/Source/texlive-20160520-source.tar.xz, 
which is not same release tarball.
Could that tarball be replaced by texlive-20160523b-source.tar.xz?

Thanks,
Johannes
