https://ftp.gnu.org is very, very slow. From the GNU downloads page:

[...]please try to use one of the many mirrors of our site listed below: the mirrors will give you faster response. [...] You can use the generic URLs https://ftpmirror.gnu.org and http://ftpmirror.gnu.org to automatically choose a nearby and up-to-date mirror.

Indeed, in my experience the mirrors are much faster. I don't see a reason we shouldn't default to them personally, so I've changed the default here.

Also see: auxolotl/foundation#8

ftp.gnu.org is very, *very* slow. ftpmirror.gnu.org will instead download from a mirror of the GNU server, which is
almost always much faster.

Given auxolotl/foundation#8 (comment) it would be nice if more people could test before we decide to use this, @r-vdp mind testing this one out again?
