https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D222678 Benjamin Kaduk <bjk@FreeBSD.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |bjk@FreeBSD.org --- Comment #1 from Benjamin Kaduk <bjk@FreeBSD.org> --- IIRC the redirect from ftp to download came when we realized that 'ftp' is a silly name when no one is using the FTP protocol to download things, and "download.freebsd.org" reads almost like a direction to "download FreeBSD", which has some advertising value. So, download became the authoritative na= me but the ftp name was retained for compatibility. I would support changing the link to be to https://download.freebsd.org/ftp/doc/ --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
