All of the things I always saw bandied about as reasons to use Pascal are now frequently tossed around as reasons to use Python. As far as I can tell, within the circles that always promoted it, Python seems to have replaced Pascal. I don't get around a whole lot though, so "as far as I can tell" isn't very far. ;)

No, mirrors.playboy.com is an official Mozilla FTP mirror (one of about 80 or so). For probably obvious reasons a lot of businesses probably block any access to that domain though. The download link on mozilla.org will send you to a random server off the mirrors list when you click it, so just try again and you'll probably get it from a different server.
