Distfiles and FTP Traffic-Shaping

Is anyone else having problems with their ISP Traffic-Shaping FTP in favour of 
HTTP? In my case the problem is quite severe and FTP distfile downloads are 
running below dial-up speed.

If it's not just me, it would be nice to have a "PREFER_HTTP_SITES" option 
that brings any http sites to the the beginning of the site list in 
bsd.port.mk.
