Description
It seems that the source code may be obtained from http://pkg-isocodes.alioth.debian.org/downloads/. Is there a reason to have it on Anduin?

Replying to bdubbs@…:
IIRC, we did that when alioth crashed.
I do not know how to put files on anduin. So I'll put the upstream link when updating. We can always change that when alioth crashes.

As Bruce wrote,no special reason, only necessity at the time.
The link for the older versions was (server down) and still is (only two latest versions remains) broken:
http://pkg-isocodes.alioth.debian.org/downloads/iso-codes-3.48.tar.xz

When I changed to anduin, it was already there. Everyday, Bruce uploads the new packages.

Thanks, Fernando. I should have searched the mail archive!
Right now, alioth is running fine (at least for iso-codes), but as you say, only the 3.49 and 3.50 versions are accessible. I understand that older versions are removed when the package is updated. Maybe it is a good indication that we have to update too, when "url not found" is returned.
OTOH, anduin is accessible by ftp, so I propose to put the link to anduin as the "Download (FTP)" link. Will wait until 3.50 appears on Anduin, though.

No bother. What I think that is normal here is to use just upstream's URL's. If you find a way, that is the preferred one. So, I commented out the other address, just to bring them back when possible.
I think Bruce would prefer not using anduin, only if necessary, bandwith matters.
But after you asked, perhaps when someone changes to anduin (as I did), could leave a comment so the next dev would have a clue (this is what I should have done).

Pierre, I edited comment:6. No big deal, just to avoid wrong interpretation.

I am really sorry I have not seen the commented out link! I retyped the whole line, hopefully without error.
