Hi all,

I find myself needing to do some development in a Windows environment. Unfortunately, the machine that I'm going to be working on is behind a firewall that blocks traffic on port 80. This means that in the default configuration, I can't grab any modules that I might need along the way. However, I have found out through experimentation that I can go to an ftp server. I see in the docs for ppm that it has the ability to fetch modules from a ppm repository over ftp. Are there any publicly available repostitories that provide their service over ftp instead of http?
