Mateusz,

Generally speaking gdal.velocet.ca is now known as home.gdal.org.
It *used* to be my home machine, but since my move I can't get
to my home machine from the outside world, so it is just another
virtual host on www.gdal.org.  But it doesn't include the ftp
site that was on my home machine, so there is no direct analog
to the ftp urls.

I'll take a look at updating all these.

The GDAL web site is regenerated at least daily from CVS, including
the ogrsf_frmts.dox file.  So yes, updating it should be reflected in
the web site within 24 hours (I think more like every 6 hours).
