I'm in favor of doing this now. Why not? I can't imagine anyone
truly depends on it, given the number of mirrors we have. You'll have
to make special arrangements (e.g. http) for the snapshots page.
I think Cygwin mirrors currently suffer because of the existing ftp
user limit. They can't get through either!
Just my 2p.
Cheers,
David
