No.

For hysterical raisins, FTP sites conventionally put FreeBSD under 
/pub/FreeBSD.  HTTP mirrors (including http://ftp.FreeBSD.org) have 
followed that convention.

http://download.FreeBSD.org is a more recent addition, and it has 
FreeBSD under /, not under /pub/FreeBSD.  We could teach nginx to put it 
under /pub/FreeBSD too, but spelling it ftp.FreeBSD.org was less work.
