    I have noticed that I seem to have more intermittent outages from the ftp:
    sites. One big factor is that ftp.eecs.umich.edu was down or unreachable
    for a while (I finally stopped trying), but even aside from that I seem to
    get more consistent results both at home and from the lab, with the http:
    flavors. Purely anecdotal data, that, as is the observation that I have
    used ftp: sites with excellent results for a long time, too.
