There are at least 2 obvious possibilities.

(1) Change all the docs to refer only to the SourceForge site itself, thus
    removing mention of www.gnuplot.info

(2) Change the registry of www.gnuplot.info to point to some machine other
    than e028121.vtacs.vt.edu
    DNS service can be changed easily enough.
    Since that vt.edu machine is responding to both http and ftp, pointing
    directly to a single SourceForge address won't work equivalently.
    But we could either split it into ftp.gnuplot.info and www.gnuplot.info,
    or find a machine elsewhere that can be used for both.
