FTP is an awful protocol for many number of reasons.  Getting past
firewalls, crappy server software and the nature of the beast (limiting
to a number of connections instead of amount of bandwidth) just to name
a few.

HTTP is not ideal, but its the easiest to deploy, Apache is _kind of_ a
good application ... 10.6Tb last month via HTTP and only 6Tb for ftp on
our end ... it also appears users prefer that method.
