title: Is FTP file sharing faster than cloud storage alternatives e.g dropbox / google drive / mediafire
body: <p>I work doing DCP (digital cinema packages) for trailers, the files are usually a zip of 1-2 gig. </p>
  
  <p>I have been just uploading them to an ftp on a cloud hosting and sending the links with username/password, and that works most of the time but lately there has been some clients that experience time out while downloading and unable to resume (clients being local cinemas downloading the files)</p>
  
  <p>I know some foreign production houses use dropbox and similar web based file sharing to send their big files but I wonder if is there any alternative to FTP and web based file sharing aside from torrents ?</p>
