Hi Pete, Why the change? FTP is more efficient for transferring files than HTTP.
Can we request longer support for FTP to allow adequate time for everyone to schedule, test, and make the change? I remember trying dHTTP initially when this was set up, but it wasn't working reliably, plus FTP is more efficient, so we went that way. wget may work better when we have time to try it. Also, what's this about gzip? Is the rulebase being changed to a .gz file? Compression is a good move to reduce bandwidth, but can we put in a plug for a standard zipfile? Do you have scripts already written to handle downloads the way you want them now? If so, how about a link?

Hello Sniffer Folks, The firewall issues we were having with our new delivery server appear to have been resolved. I am showing good traffic via FTP at this time. Normal ftp access for log uploads and SNF rulebase downloads via www.sortmonster.net / ftp.sortmonster.net should work correctly now. Note that FTP downloads of SNF rulebases is deprecated. If you are using FTP to download your rulebase files you should switch to using http w/ gzip as soon as practical. FTP access to SNF rulebase files will continue for a time but support may be removed without notice in the future. It's a safe bet that FTP access for SNF rulebase files will remain functional through the end of this month however.
