FTP as in the protocol!
pbuild /tmp$ ftp ftp://ftp.tug.org/historic/systems/texlive/ ftp: connect: Connection refused ftp: Can't connect or login to host `ftp.tug.org' The days of make peek-ftp are behind I think. I'd rather: - stop overriding FETCH_CMD. FETCH_CMD isn't intended to be used in a port, and -k0 is only useful to talk to an FTP server that 1. isn't the first server in the list 2. isn't currently available with FTP - use a nothern america HTTPS mirror as the second entry in the list, https://tug.org is just too overloaded. - stop mentioning the TUG FTP server limitation, instead mention the base URL to get to the mirror list ok?
