>HTTP relies on its standard thus you can't add specific FTP commands in the URL such as passing the username and the password. This is one difference.

Thanks. Actually, I meant advantages for the end-user - that is me - if the server (e.g., www.OpenOffice.org) supplies both options. Do you think FTP would result in a faster download?

Hilmar.
