This is a note in general, not specifically at you. But https for
distfiles only achieves 2 things: 1. Privacy against someone snooping
that you are downloading ZNC (is it really that important?) but still
can see your DNS and connections to the ZNC site... and 2. It breaks
proxy caching.  So I don't think MASTER_SITES should be converted to
https in general.  There's this odd push for it lately but I don't see
the benefit.
