Not missing, but wrong url. The dutch ftp mirror is of the form:
ftp://freepascal.stack.nl/pub/mirrors/fpc/
The dutch mirror shows the right paths:
http://freepascal.stack.nl/down/x86_64/linux-netherlands.html
so it must be something in how the main site is updated.

Who can update the download page?

I have regenerated it (I think).
The website is created using Black Magic, it defies analysis. It's an ill-advised attempt to create a multilingual site.
The person who made it is no longer on the team, and his scripts are in tcl. We'll need to clean it up once and for all. Create something like hugo https://gohugo.io/overview/introduction/

Since you're currently the one of the team the most invested in web technologies, maybe you'd be the best choice to do this? :)

Me and my big mouth :)
I guess one day I will. The current setup has bothered me long enough...

The actual script is make. The scripts to generate the script are in Pascal assisted TCL :-)
It does taught us a lesson to use scripting languages that are not broadly carried.

Simply replacing the tcl bits would be enough. It seems a simple makefile generator app.

No way. I'm going to get rid of everything.
The current system is confusing and completely un-understandable, it needs to go.
The multi-language support has not been used in 15 years, so it is time to put it out of its misery...

If you have the time, perfect.
The current system is confusing and completely un-understandable, it needs to go. The multi-language support has not been used in 15 years, so it is time to put it out of its misery...
Please avoid non general skills (in FPC core, not the world) to operate/maintain the system.
In particular, avoid these languages:

Nice link.
But I'll simply revert it back to what it was before all the tcl. A simple pascal program that uses a template to create the menu structure and generate the download pages from the mirror list...

I'd say if he decides to use JS he'd use it through pas2js :P

I think "simple pascal program" definitely sounds like a general skill anyone on Core has :P

Well, yes, that seemed like a safe bet to me... ;)

Interesting talk. It got me to think about running a asm.js (or nowadays WebAssembly) on our company's OS... and here I wanted to do other things during my free day and the weekend :P But yeah, considering that the amount of transpilers to JS is increasing (I consider WebAssembly one as well) and Pas2JS is one after all as well I essentially do agree with the talk... (though avoiding the kernel kall overhead would probably mean to have the asm.js running in ring 0 as well and due to my work I've definitely come to like the advantages of a microkernel :/ )

Sven
