So, from an infrastructure perspective... we do have http mirrors still. 
If you are using a metalink there's not any security problem using http,
although there is a privacy one (anyone sniffing the traffic can see
what you are downloading). 

We no longer have/support ftp mirrors in mirrormanager, we dropped them
a while back. 

I don't know if this case uses a metalink? Does it?

If we want to keep supporting FTP, we may have to test it locally as
mirrormanager doesn't support it anymore.
