No. It might be possible to extract the archive, compile the files,
and add the resulting directory to `load-path', but I would not
recommend this to a beginner. It will likely be easier to install the
XEmacs package.

No, that one:

Probably. Perhaps you are behind a firewall and cannot access FTP
servers or the mirror you are trying to use is down. In any case this
is a problem with the package manager of XEmacs and the people over at
the XEmacs project are more proficient in helping with that than we
are.
