You mean, with using the "Source" tag in a specfile? And
        Source: ftp://example.com/tarball.tar.gz
does not work, while 
        Source: http://example.com/tarball.tar.gz
does? The latter (!) would be a bug. 

Although it _would_ be very convenient, the build clients are supposed to
be set up in a way which prohibits any network access.

Or has this been changed?
