Just curious... I thought FTP was significantly more efficient for
transferring files...? Yes/no/why?
Cheers,
FTP sucks for transferring many files. HTTP has something chunked
transfers or something (?) and persistent connections and you don't need
to worry about passive or active or firewalls, binary or text or
anything. P2P technology is even better because everyone is the
server. FTP is still OK, I guess, for large file transfer.
