Hi, 

FileFront (formerly named FilesNetwork) is a large games archive which does not
allow direct download, but there are a couple of mirrors available which do
allow direct anonymous download.

The line to add to /usr/portage/profiles/thirdpartymirrors is:

filefront       http://ftp.games.skynet.be/pub/www.filesnetwork.com
ftp://ftp.planetmirror.com/pub/filesnetwork
ftp://ftp.games.skynet.be/pub/www.filesnetwork.com

The Skynet mirror is usually full via ftp, but is fast via http. The list above
is sorted in order of download speed, with Skynet via http being fastest.

Some open bugs which would benefit from this are:  bug 117324, bug 119258, bug
119658.
