A lot of them. It wasn't that long ago when most large files were hosted on FTP sites. An absurd amount of drivers that I download are still hosted on FTP sites.

Most probably didn't realize that they were using FTP, which is the point of having it integrated into the browser.

Okay. You are one of the 1/10,000,000. What percentage of people have downloaded a driver through any means other than "plugged in device, it said "install driver" and the user clicked it"?
