Update base-url for xorg downloads?

Maybe the base-url for xorg-downloads needs to be updated.

Testing a script, I downloaded several xorg-packages, using the urls in
the latest wget-list for BLFS.  Those downloads took unusually long.

Suspecting a gnu-like problem, I checked out x.org.  Turned out that the
current base-url for downloads is
https://www.x.org/releases/individual/

In BLFS it is
https://www.x.org/pub/individual/

The latter redirects to
https://www.x.org/archive/individual/

which may be the reason for the slow downloads, I speculate.

At any rate, after updating the urls in the wget-list, I could download
xorg packages at the usual speed.
