Hi!
I want to report problem with FTP of gentoo and wget ftp://distfiles.gentoo.org/
When i want to download via wget :
| Code: |
wget ftp://distfiles.gentoo.org/releases/amd64/autobuilds/current-stage3-amd64/stage3-amd64-20180204T214502Z.tar.xz
--2018-02-06 13:28:01-- ftp://distfiles.gentoo.org/releases/amd64/autobuilds/current-stage3-amd64/stage3-amd64-20180204T214502Z.tar.xz
=> ‘stage3-amd64-20180204T214502Z.tar.xz’

m0n085,

ok, but when you try without ftp:// it's not FTP it's HTTP |

| Two different services, why do you think an http link mandate the ftp presence with the same directory structure? |

| Also, if you have a working HTTP client, why would you use an FTP client? HTTP clients generally have better and more reliable support for nice features like bandwidth management and resuming interrupted downloads. |

Here's what I see:

I think the notice makes it obvious they don't want people hammering their FTP server directly. If you really must do this, use one of the FTP servers actually listed on the mirrors page. |

I apologize for reporting a non-working service, it will not happen again. 
Usaly I use OVH mirror, but for now is down.
Why I use FTP not http?... Why U use gentoo not ubuntu? |

<hat type="infrastructure">
There is NO official FTP service on ftp://distfiles.gentoo.org/. The hostname of distfiles.gentoo.org is DNS rotation that selects between many mirrors, intended for HTTP usage. Only some of the mirrors offer FTP, and mostly on different paths, since FTP doesn't allow virtual-hostnames like HTTP does. Some mirrors do provide FTP service, but you should use their hostnames, not distfiles.gentoo.org
If you see somewhere in the Gentoo docs that says there is FTP service on distfiles.gentoo.org, please file a bug so we can fix the docs!
Future plans call for that hostname to become a HTTP redirection service on top of GeoDNS or Anycast-IP, but mostly a dream for lack of development time.
