OK I am going to bite... what should "people" use instead?

SCP/SFTP? Adds quite an overhead and puts more load on the server; I have never reached even nearly the same dl rate with scp/sftp that I would get with ftp and we are talking lame 2 Megabytes/s here.

HTTP? I'd like to be able to resume and I want the nice comfort of being able to download a whole file structure with a single click. I am not going to click on 10000 single links in a browser.

Other than that I cannot think of an alternative to list here but I would be very happy and thankful if you could point me to a few.
