Yes, but not many I use. ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/ and
ftp://vic.cc.purdue.edu/pub/tools/unix/lsof/ do, but I found
mirrors.
Unfortunately asking them won't help, as others have asked in
the past. And I can't change services because it's the only
ADSL here. I'll have to live with it (or find a... mirror).
Anyway, it'd be nice to add something about it at
http://www.gnupg.org/download/cvs_access.html.en and
http://www.mutt.org/download.html, so others know what the
problem is.
