It can be found at http://www.gurutech.it/files/byolinux/findutils-4.1.7.tar.gz or possibly http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/slackware/slackware_source/a/findutils/ (the file is there but I didn't download it to check the signature).
I've fixed this in findutils-4.1.7-r4 (currently ~-masked) by pointing directly to the Gentoo mirrors. I don't think pointing to another distribution is a good solution. Hopefully GNU will start supplying new versions of their utilities again on their own ftp sites.
Marked stable in cvs on x86 and alpha, closing this bug
