I don't know. I have no control over that server. It is just one of a
few servers who happen to archive Usenet FAQs. You would have to deal
with the administrator of that server.
You could use your newsreader instead, the FAQ is posted once a month:
Message-ID: <computer-lang/java/gui/faq_1115958516@rtfm.mit.edu>
If that doesn't work, you could use try Google Groups instead to dig it out:
