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
