Releases Distribution Changes - OpenSSL Blog
openssl.org
I’d like to give you a heads-up about some changes we’re making at OpenSSL. We’re simplifying how you can get our software, and that means we’re …

We’re no longer using our old ftp, rsync, and git links for distributing OpenSSL. These were great in their day, but it’s time to move on to something better and safer. ftp://ftp.openssl.org and rsync://rsync.openssl.org are not available anymore. As of June 1, 2024, we’re also going to shut down https://ftp.openssl.org and git://git.openssl.org/openssl.git mirrors.

GitHub is becoming the main distributor of the OpenSSL releases.
