[racket] FTP strange behavior

I was using the code from this old post to test FTP within racket, and
noticed that (what I assume was) the link to Moore's original paper is
broken.

After a few minutes of poking around I see that Intel has reorganized their
FTP site and the paper is now found at:

ftp://download.intel.com/museum/Moores_Law/Articles-Press_releases/Gordon_Moore_1965_Article.pdf
.

Not wanting to have wasted the time, I document the new location and
provide an update to the wee test here.

Cheers,

Kieron.

#lang racket

(require net/ftp)

(define conn (ftp-establish-connection "download.intel.com" 21 "anonymous"
""))

(ftp-cd conn "/museum/Moores_Law/Articles-Press_releases")
(ftp-download-file conn "/home/X" "Gordon_Moore_1965_Article.pdf")
