Oh! I didn't know there is a problem on their web, here is the one I
downloaded before:

http://www.accura.com.hk/FujiCrystalArchive.icc

BTW, if you are using Photoshop, you can put the icc file here:

Program Files/Common Files/Color/Profiles/Recommended

In Photoshop, after open the image, in the "View" manual select "Proof
Setup", Device to Simulate: "FujiCrystalArchive.icc", click both "Preserve
RGB Numbers" and "Simulate Paper Color". You will then see a very low
contrast image, I usually start the adjustment with "Curve Tool" to make
the image look "better" then save the image for output, the final step is to
find a lab that know how to make direct output without passing through
Frontier's auto adjustment process, I went through a few to get one.
