What we are looking for is the path to be the same. i.e. only the the protocol should change. For example, we should be able to change: ftp://ftp4.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/distfiles/dits-2.2.34.tar.gz into: http://ftp4.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/distfiles/dits-2.2.34.tar.gz If you run a FTP mirror, please set this up. If you are worried about running something big like Apache, perhaps running a smaller HTTP server like thttpd would work for you. Regards, Brad Davis (with admins hat on)
