FTP or HTTP download?

[OrganizedChaos]

if both options are there which do you pick and why.

HTTP seems to start faster for me. probably because of the lack of login & port commands required. so that's what I go with.

yes the 1/2 second of time saved is important to me 😛

I prefer ESP download

FTP is made for, you guessed it, file transfers... so that's what I usually use.

It doesn't really matter. They're normally both the same speed.

Use the FTP link if you can. HTTP links are normally for compatability.

And HTTP is made for, you guessed it, hypertext transfers 😉

I think 5 years ago there was a speed benifit with ftp, but they seem equal nowadays. I click on one, if it takes a moment before beginning, I click on the other.
