Yes, nasty bug. The http://download.osgeo.org/grass/ was an interim solution,
now, since http://grass.osgeo.org is on that server, too, I can again upload
to the master site (I have no access on "osgeo1" on which it was hosted
before).

yes and yes.
Can we do some trick to about duplication of files?

That's manual copying.
cronjobs are used for
- prog manual
- source snapshots
- Linux binary snapshots (which also generates user manual)

Yes, as soon we have a clear idea how to do it.

PS: Release announcements are all fixed to the former and working URLs
on the master site.
