Here are some more technical observations:

http://ckan.net/package/jiscopenbib-cul-1 links to http://openbiblio.net/2010/10/04/jisc-openbibliography-cul-data-release which gives a 404.

Also wget doesn't like the http://storage.ckan.net/openbiblio/CUL_dataset1-20100705 URL.

It gives me this error:

ERROR: certificate common name `*.googleusercontent.com' doesn't match requested host name `openbiblio.commondatastorage.googleapis.com'.

wget works when --no-check-certificate is used.
