I asked aunt Google for "dosfstools-3.0.9.tar.bz2" and:

http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/repo/pkgs/dosfstools/dosfstools-3.0.9.tar.bz2/

The path where to download a specific archive is always defined in the
corresponding rule file. In your case the "rules/dosfstools.make" in the
PTXdist installation directory:

[...]
DOSFSTOOLS_URL := http://www.daniel-baumann.ch/software/dosfstools/$(DOSFSTOOLS_SRC)
[...]

You can change this path to let PTXdist always download it from a different
location. But when you assume the web source is only temp. unreachable, then
you can just download it from somewhere and store it to the directory where
PTXdist expects the already downloaded archives
(refer "ptxdist setup" -> Source Directories ---> (<your path>) Source Directory).
In this case PTXdist will never again try to download it from the web again
(download once - use often ;) ).

Regards,
Juergen
