 Replying to [comment:25 mcs]:
 > 50MB.zip (speedtest.tele2.net FTP download; no access via Tor)
 ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/11.x/11.0.20/misc/AdbeRdrUpd11020.msp
 access via Tor
 but see how awful the Tor Network works: every exit node without FTP
 allowed ends up with {{{REASON=TIMEOUT}}}, and you need a lot of attempts
 to get to FTP, ignoring {{{425}}} errors.
