petsc configure builds with --download-package option should now work.<br>

For direct tarball download - switching the URL from<br>
<a href="http://ftp.mcs.anl.gov" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://ftp.mcs.anl.gov</a> to <a href="ftp://ftp.mcs.anl.gov" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">ftp://ftp.mcs.anl.gov</a> notation is the<br>
temporary workaround. For eg:<br>
<br>
change:<br>
<a href="http://ftp.mcs.anl.gov/pub/petsc/release-snapshots/petsc-3.8.4.tar.gz" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://ftp.mcs.anl.gov/pub/petsc/release-snapshots/petsc-3.8.4.tar.gz</a><br>
to:<br>
<a href="ftp://ftp.mcs.anl.gov/pub/petsc/release-snapshots/petsc-3.8.4.tar.gz" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">ftp://ftp.mcs.anl.gov/pub/petsc/release-snapshots/petsc-3.8.4.tar.gz</a><br>
