Re: [eclipse-mirrors] ftp.acc.umu.se not getting any traffic?

[Denis Roy <denis.roy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We'll be supporting https downloads soon. In the meanwhile, we can
update your base path:

http://ftp.acc.umu.se/mirror/eclipse.org

to:

https://ftp.acc.umu.se/mirror/eclipse.org

If you'd like. Please confirm directly to webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxx to avoid
noise on this list.

Thanks,

Denis
