SUBJ because my Firefox is not supporting FTP anymore.

Suggestion: replace FTP links with HTTP.

Good suggestion! I used CURL to get files. But site must be fixed!

I've been banging that drum for ages, nobody appears to be bothered. I noticed a couple of days ago that it also applies to software downloads from the mirrors in Hungary or Canada.

But if the browsers decide not to use FTP anymore it is a decsion of the browser maintainer. Yes the homepage using FTP links seem broken for such user whos are using a - broken - browser. But with a FTP Programm the files are reachable.

It is a good idea to think about the situation and to change it. It is also possible to write on the page - use a FTP programm to download. Or to change the page, but this is sometime not so easy.

FileZilla is a good, free ftp-program.
