It turns out that the problem is completely different: we had a
server crash a while ago and lost the disk that holds this ftp
distribution. Our sysadmin will eventually get it back online.

However, this ftp site only holds older Eclipse releases (up to 5.7).
The new release 5.8 is distributed under a new licence (because of a
change in Eclipse's ownership) and via a much simplified web-based
registration and downloading procedure, see
http://www.icparc.ic.ac.uk/eclipse/new_download/index.php

Unless you have pressing reasons to stick with the old release,
I'd recommend that you simply get a new licence, because new
release download is not affected by the ftp problem.
