Well, by efficient I meant finding files. The
current state of most
websites often makes it very difficult to find a particular file -- even
when you know exactly what you are looking for. A well maintained FTP site
on the other hand, is pretty straightforward to navigate.
Um, I hate to interrupt your rant, but a "well maintained" HTTP site is
pretty straightforward to navigate, as well.
I've navigated plenty of horrible FTP sites. A service implemented badly
is a horror, HTTP or not.
