Err...  AFAIK ftp permits eve more pipelining than http, in that you
can use a single control connection to open multiple transfers in
parallel, whereas with http, since data and control connections are
the same, you can only get data for one file after the transfer of the
previous file is complete.  Now on to figure out how many ftp clients
and servers actually take advantage of this fact :-)
