About to do my few-times-a-week upgrade to the most recent snapshot for one of my systems earlier this week, I discovered that ftp.eu.openbsd.org apparently has dropped support for anonymous ftp:
$ ncftp eu-openbsd NcFTP 3.2.6 (Dec 04, 2016) by Mike Gleason (http://www.NcFTP.com/contact/). Connecting to 193.156.26.18... jj-prod-obsdmirror.inet6.se FTP server ready. User anonymous unknown. Sleeping 20 seconds... - after a few iterations of which I Ctrl-C out and just download the bsd.rd over http and use that to install sets, again via http, from the same mirror. I don't see downloading bsd.rd only and then doing an http install as much of a hardship (the process takes only a few minutes total either way), but if the change was intentional it would probably be a good thing to update the relevant web pages. - Peter -- Peter N.
