We[1] offer http downloads for a while. FreeBSD is available at: http://ftp4.de.freebsd.org/download/pub/FreeBSD/ We've added it, because there are people with the opinion, http provides better throughput because of more static network connections, which can benefit better from large TCP congestion windows. I'm not sure if this is true, though.
