Does it really make a difference when downloading full CD images? I
thought it only does with jigdo, because the overhead with FTP is the
login, which only happens once per downloaded file.

I think I'll solve this by changing the list of servers distributed
with the next version of jigdo: If a site offers both HTTP and FTP,
only the HTTP link is listed.
