ffmpeg's git is also available via HTTP(S):
https://git.videolan.org/git/ffmpeg.git
Use that as the "git clone" URL.
Also from GitHub with HTTP(S). GitHub also provides snapshots, IIRC.

Furthermore, there's the daily snapshot:
http://ffmpeg.org/releases/ffmpeg-snapshot.tar.bz2
(Referenced on http://ffmpeg.org/download.html, but not very
obviously.)

If you do build yourself, it's only up to you not to provide
"--enable-librtmp". ;-)
