Hi there,
I may be wrong but I thought usage of ftp to get information and to
download packages is discouraged. I just noticed (after having done a
fresh install of amd64-current) reading the welcome mail "Welcome to
OpenBSD 5.8!" that the ftp-protocol is still given.
Instead
ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/5.8/packages
shouldn't this rather be
http://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/5.8/packages
?
And consequently the following sentence would be adjusted accordingly
just like the example download of emacs.
If ftp is still a valid option please excuse the noise.
Best,
STEFAN
