I just noticed that the download links on the download page seem to give
403 errors across the board.
A little digging showed that they are linking to
http://download.insecure.org/nmap-dist/filename

Looking through the old download page, which suddenly appeared from my
cache, I saw the old (4.76 and 4.85beta4) downloads linked from
http://nmap.org/dist/filename.

I tried this URL on the new 4.85beta5 and I could download from there.

In short, http://download.insecure.org/nmap-dist/nmap-4.85BETA5.tar.bz2
gives a 403, while http://nmap.org/dist/nmap-4.85BETA5.tar.bz2 works.

With so many people probably wanting to download because of Conficker, I'd
thought I'd report this ASAP.
