No way! FTP is core to the web browser -- always has been. Moreover, passive
mode FTP has none of the firewall issues that plague BT. I have to agree with
comment #81 completely. The solution in comment #41 is only good for a very
small number of users. How many normal people can and will configure their
router even when given a guide to follow?

By the way: Please, please don't spam this bug with any YAY or NAY comments! ;-)
