I think it's happening, if you look at bsd.sites.mk there's more HTTP than there was a year or two ago. It's definately good to have the option of HTTP because some ISPs treat FTP as a file-sharing protocol. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
