I've actually been pondering why most folks haven't simply replaced anonymous FTP with HTTP. The transmission advantages of days yore simply don't matter with broadband.
...but there are large chunks of the world where broadband still is not an option, even more where 33.6Kbps is leading-edge, and even many places where Internet access of any kind is still largely unknown. It's a much bigger world out there.
