I think they want http access to the ftp site. Some one mentioned better 
download speed with http. It's probably a configuration/firewall issue 
on their end though. But they want to use an http URL for yum since it's 
faster for them currently.

I think the p.rh.c sould be setup with files available both ways. Some 
people only have http access (Arjan for one), and I prefer FTP (like 
you). I'll forget who as which setup, FTP to p.rh.c and see nothing, 
only to find out later that it was there, but http only.
