I tried to download the current freesurfer release from the FTP site, and got a 550 error. After searching, I found the mailing list discussion of the disk problems / server outage with no ETA for its return.

(here https://mail.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/pipermail//freesurfer/2016-June/046338.html and here https://mail.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/pipermail//freesurfer/2016-September/047662... )

Unfortunately, the source code repo, library repo seem unreachable as well.

I found an unofficial copy of the source code on github ( https://github.com/neurodebian/freesurfer) but can't compile with the standard ubuntu 14.04 minc library (getting "cannot find miopen: No such file or directory" right now) and my skills at troubleshooting the compilation are... not great.

Any chance that

- someone can provide the linux distribution file? (i know it's huge) - someone can give me pointers with the library dependencies? - someone knows when the ftp server might be back up?

If the packages exist somewhere and the server will be down for a bit, I would be happy to host the FTP site. Please let me know if I can help.
