Browser is no help, but commandline FTP gives me the following:

Connected to FTP-01.cyrusimap.org.
500 OOPS: failed to open vsftpd log file:/var/log/vsftpd.log

So, I'd go with the http download until someone fixes that.

Unless you are looking at different branches, patches, etc. I would recommend 
the web site download page rather than github:
