Selecting protocol used for fetching distfiles

["Sevan / Venture37" <venture37%gmail.com@localhost>]

Hi,
I'm performing bulk builds on systems in environments where I don't
have much control let alone any privilege and currently struggling
with bulkbuilds hanging due to FTP issues (not sure if it's my end or
the others) but it's across completely different operating systems /
hosts / networks and different sets of packages.
I was wondering if there was a simple way of specifying which protocol
is used for fetching distfiles globally e.g only use HTTP.
