: Only when new ftp will handle {ftp,http}://user:password@host:port/path
: URLs properly (f.e. not confused by @ in password, not confused by first
: :, etc)
And *ONLY* when you can fetch the entire /usr/ports/distfiles tree
with it w/o errors, even when the first couple of sites don't have the
files in question. Other updated ftp programs have had problems doing
this in the past, and it was one of the many problems that were faced
in getting the ports system going on OpenBSD (and one of the reasons
that I put my involvment of that project on hold for a while).
