This is probably better anyways - first, HTTP typically goes through firewalls (FTP often doesn't, such as where I am right now) and second you're sparing people immense griefs if they happen to use an inferior browser (e.g., IE) which depending on your FTP server often just chokes and gives weird error messages. So I think we should use the HTTP download as the "primary" location and for people who ... well I don't know why but hey ... for people who for some reason want to use ftp they can still use ftp.

Yup. :) Agree in full.
Sidenote: I installed pure-ftpd on my own server yesterday and I noticed it has a "compatible-with-broken-clients-feature" to cater for IE among others. Sigh.
