Yes, FTP is a viable protocol for sharing files, but the only advantage to this, is that the rips come faster. This has nothing to do with speed of the program, but in the heirarchy or structure of the scene. Rips are sent first to high speed ftp servers, and then they trickle down to filesharing programs. If you are 'connected' in that way, you can grab from these fast servers. However,, you usually have to have something to offer them to gain axxess. Ie.. dump space, bncs, pre-store rips, etc
