The copy at the Ada-Belgium server dates from the period when distributing "big files" via http was a no-no, and people insisted that ftp should be used for that instead. Since then the situation changed "somewhat", so making a copy available via http is no longer a problem and in fact may be preferable for many reasons, as stated by Randy. Nevertheless, I received reports from people who appreciate the availability via ftp, e.g. because they have only ftp- and no http- access, so I intend to keep it online as long as cs.kuleuven.be offers an ftp-service.
