Thanks (to everyone).
Why are you using the ftp method? The http method is more efficient since it uses HTTP 1.1 pipelining.
*shrugs* Because I am. Maybe I'll switch to HTTP after today, but for now I'm happy with ftp. Besides, HTTP = Hyper Text Transfer Protocol, FTP = File Transfer Protocol. In my mind it makes more sense to use ftp to retrieve those files because FTP was made specifically for this purpose.
Perhaps one day they'll improve upon FTP.
