What URL did you use?  Confusingly, ftp://www-126.ibm.com/coin/Tarballs
and ftp://www-126.ibm.com/pub/coin/ both exist and both have tarballs,
although the former has not been updated since 2001.  If you are browsing
with any of the common FTP clients, choosing the wrong directory would be
an easy mistake to make.

Cgl_2004Apr15.tgz is the latest in the latter directory.  Just following
the link from the download page a Web browser seems to work fine.
