look, ftp is just a protocol, so you'll transfer as fast or as slow as your connection allows. ftp-ing a file down from your server is no slower than getting it via http. the thing that makes it slow (for me, anyway) is when you're transferring like 8000 files in 300 directories - the constant ftp instructions that have to get passed between your computer and the server will slow down your average transfer speed.
this is why i suggested zipping things up, and transferring only one massive file, instead of 8000 tiny files, if this is indeed what you are doing. it is what i do.
