Having long connect times to pay for while
downloading huge ftp-file (combinations). 
Demon in the Netherlands (and I assume the
same will be available in the UK) has a FTP
batch download service. You send in a request
by email, get a confirmation by email they have
arrived and you can download at the maximum
speed available between you and your local POP.

There is an explanation on the support pages.

Regards from Leeuwarden
