As their FTP welcome message clearly explains, ftp.linux.org is not
currently a distribution site for Linux.  Your allusion that the limit
on the number of users on an FTP site is proportional to the value of
an operating system is bogus.

Here is the correct information for Linux:

WWW
	http://sunsite.unc.edu/mdw/linux.html
FTP
	ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/
	ftp://tsx-11.mit.edu/pub/linux/
	ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/OS/Linux/
	ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/pub/linux/
Support
	comp.os.linux.*
	>50 mailing lists via majordomo@vger.rutgers.edu
	Many commercial organizations provide support - see the HOWTOs
