I don't remember exactly so keep that in mind but:
I think modern HTTP can get stuff going with less handshakes. Also FTP needed like two TCP connections active

rsync makes sense for something like updating the package catalogue (many files that could change) and package managers actually do this. not really useful for a single time single file download

@fiore@brain.worm.pink ftp has hella overhead and is from an era of the internet when security wasn't a consideration.
