I'm trying to build TeX Live, but the official archive is only available via FTP: ftp://tug.org/texlive/historic/2016/texlive-20160523b-source.tar.xz

Adding the url as a source results in the following error message: "Failed to download sources: module texlive: Not supported address schema"

Yeah, libsoup (which we use for downloads) has no ftp support. We would need some nice ftp library to add this.

In previous examples of this I have always been able to find a http mirror though.
