We used to run all our downloads through ftp back in the day because it's just more reliable, what with it being called file transfer protocol. However, many of our users did not have ftp access and therefore we had to make the switch to http. Enter complaints about interrupted downloads, corrupted files, and more.

So what's the solution ? You choose! :)

I've just added a new feature that allows you to choose whether you'd like to download files using http or ftp.

• HTTP is usually fine for smaller files. Downloads startup quicker and are quite reliable.
• FTP is really good for larger files. Downloads may take a few seconds to start but will progress smoothly (and sometimes faster!) from there on.
• You set your preference and we'll remember it for all your downloads.
• You can change your preference at any time!
