Thanks. I didn't try adding the rsync URL as it was already failing to accept
ftp URLs. Turns out today that rsync:// works while ftp:// fails with
"Unsupported URL format". Tried both Chrome and IE.
Thanks for providing the rsync URLs!
Any way I could add the FTP addresses as well? Seems other mirrors
have them
added.
Fedora linux: ftp://fedora.inode.at
EPEL: ftp://mirror.inode.at/epel/
Adding FTP URLs is no longer possible. It seems you are the first mirror
to detect it. We just recently started blocking FTP to be entered as
URLs into the database. We will also remove the existing FTP URLs from
the database in a next step. We see no value in providing FTP URLs as
HTTP and RSYNC are better in regards to firewalling and natting. To
reduce problems on client systems we decided to no longer offer FTP URLs
to our clients.
