The page is: http://www.pragma-ade.nl/pdftex.htm

Remarks:
Using my provider's FTP PROXY and Netscape, no connection is possible
(time-out),
  ftp://ftp.muni.cz/pub/tex/local/cstug/thanh/pdftex/
whereas:
  http://www.fi.muni.cz/~thanh/download/
works fine.
Using Linux' `ftp` (w/o proxy) I can use the ftp server.

On both sites, which are equivalent btw, there is no win32 file, but an irix and
a solaris file.
Maybe you should include it as well, or maybe it is better to link only to the
two directories.

For PDFTeX/Win32: Maybe a link to: ftp://ftp.ese-metz.fr/pub/tex/win32-beta/
would be better.
(fp only has pdftex-0.14a-3).
