Feel free to do so with the admin at hiwaay.net.

The subject is misleading.

$ ftp download.fedora.redhat.com
Trying 209.132.176.20...

Currently, mirror.hiwaay.net is reachable, but doesn't react to
ftp:

$ ftp mirror.hiwaay.net
Connected to mirror.hiwaay.net (216.180.54.21).

ftp.hiwaay.net and ftp://hiwaay.net seem to be working, but don't
carry the content you want. ;)

What would that change? Yum would access the same site via ftp/http, too.

Also nice is "lftp" which gives ftp-like access to http, when the site
serves http, too.
