The current URL states it's accessible via HTTP however this doesn't seem to be working at the moment. You can access it via FTP though:
ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/w/whois/

[»] slowwwwwwww
by Apollyon - Apr 18th 2003 12:50:07

This client takes an insane amount of time to do whois
queries. I've tried 4.6.2 and 4.6.3. I'm wondering where I
find the 'normal' whois client that responds almost
immediately. Any ideas on how to fix this problem or where
to find the 'normal' whois client?

    I can only see it being slow if you're trying to do a whois on a domain that has a slow whois server. This whois program queries the proper whois servers (rather than you having to know them yourself) which makes it a bit slower, but it is about a million times better than the whois program you think you want.

This prog is an absolute lifesaver. I attempted to scan *.au host records for ages before I found this in 2000; kudos to the developer.

[»] RedHat 7.1 package
by Dan Anderson - Jun 28th 2001 13:41:18

I built RedHat RPM packages for whois. Source and i386 binary packages are at: ftp://dan.drydog.com/pub/swhoisd/ or http://dan.drydog.com/swhoisd/

Also there is Swhoisd, Simple Whois Daemon.

[»] This is a little gem
by Peter Burkholder - Aug 7th 2000 14:14:20

Since I daily try to contact the admins responsible for systems scanning our hosts, this little whois vastly simplifies my life.
