I would miss ftp big time !! :)

Typically any (well setup) http server will throttle bandwidth to 20k or 40k
/sec.  Ftp is generally not so throttled.

As for virtual hosting, that is not a great option for servers not in our
control, not many of the larger hosting mirrors will allow changes to their
setups WRT virtual hosting, etc. and I personally would not offer to host
files for a project that requires me reconfiguring my servers to that level.
