--- Comment #1 from Benjamin Kaduk <bjk at FreeBSD.org> ---
IIRC the redirect from ftp to download came when we realized that 'ftp' is a
silly name when no one is using the FTP protocol to download things, and
"download.freebsd.org" reads almost like a direction to "download FreeBSD",
which has some advertising value.  So, download became the authoritative name
but the ftp name was retained for compatibility.

I would support changing the link to be to
https://download.freebsd.org/ftp/doc/
