I deduce from that, that HTTP works better for you than FTP.  On the
other hand, I'm mirroring an FTP server nearby and it always worked
like a charm.  There might be a problem with the setup of your DSL

Anyway, if you encounter problems with your current setup, please let
us know.

Microsoft isn't the answer. Microsoft is the question, and the answer is NO.
