Apologies, typed the wrong email alias.
This was meant to go to the core list.
The problem is real, though... Consider it a heads up :-)

Hello,
Mattias Gaertner pointed out that Chrome no longer supports FTP downloads.
I know that Firefox will follow suit really soon (if they haven't already).
Since Edge now also uses Chromium, they will soon also have this disabled.
This wil surely cause problems for many users.
So I think we should start making the FTP server downloads available through
HTTP(s)
instead of FTP. I also think we should do this for 3.2.2.
(the pages are auto-generated from some base URLS, so this should not be a
lot of work)
It should be sufficient to have a virtual host that points
to the ftp directory of the current FPC's ftp dir.
Charlie, is this an option for you ?
If you want, I can create a new DNS:
downloads.freepascal.org
which you can then use to set up the virtual host.
I don't think HTTPS is a necessity, but if you prefer that is also good of
course...
When that is done, the links on the download page can be switched to http(s).
Michael.
