Good Day
Liquid Telecom has been cleaning up its mirroring and is wishing to announce following changes
removal and deprecation of mirror.zol.co.zw - the content is still here but it is ultimately on the same server and we’d likely to spin traffic away from this url - we will likely 301’ this to the new URL mentioned below once taken out of primary mirror lists.
change of Liquid Telecom URL from mirror.liquidtelecom.comhttp://mirror.liquidtelecom.com/ to the below

Hi Anthony,
Usage of the FTP protocol for CentOS Mirrors is being deprecated and is no longer being advertised as an option for downloading content - you may want to consider disabling these URLs. Furthermore (AFAIK), FTP isn’t commonly used for downloading content as HTTP and RSYNC is more commonly used and considerably easier.

Thanks, these changes have now been made. In particular, it was nice to get a new AltArch mirror in Africa, and from a different region than the one we already had in South Africa.
As for FTP, it is indeed on its way out, but there is still a place in the mirror database for FTP URLs. mirrorlist.centos.org will not serve FTP URLs if the mirror has an HTTP URL, so you will most probably not see much FTP traffic.
