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.
