The fedoraproject top level mirror (dl.fedoraproject.org) serves
everything via HTTP only. The only thing I miss from ftp is glob
support but seeing how many security holes that has opened up in even
vsftp over the years (ok 1 maybe 2 bugs.. ) I can understand not
having glob working. [I wonder if there is a mod_glob I could add
though]
