If you try to access the European mirror server at  
[ftp://eu.ftp.musicbrainz.org/MusicBrainz/data/fullexport/](ftp://eu.ftp.musicbrainz.org/MusicBrainz/data/fullexport/) \*  
you get an error like “550 Failed to change directory” in a web browser or FTP-software like FileZilla.

Can please someone from the admin-team check the access rights?

The European mirror is down. Use the main ftp server.

(You should also get software with better error reporting: The host name `eu.ftp.musicbrainz.org` no longer even exists.)

Strange thing. At the time I wrote the above info, everything was working fine except the data-directory.  
Now, the server is completely down.

The European mirror is up again:
