It looks like it was only a temporary problem. I tried it now and it 
works. :)

I see now a much bigger problem. There exists two different BBv2 websites!?

1. http://boost.org/boost-build2/
2. http://www.boost.org/tools/build/v2/index.html

The first one is from your signature and the second one from the boost 
homepage. I was always visiting the second one and I think many others 
too. Because I then navigated this way:

boost.org -> Boost Tools -> §Status -> BBv2-Link

Of course there are still mistakes in the second one. The first website 
looks now up to date.

Your BBv2 from your signature isn't linked on the official boost homepage?

To many confusions? ;-) I would suggest to kill one of the websites and 
link the right one in the boost starting homepage and in the BBv1 
homepage or in the Boost Tools page?

Best regards
