If this is the same as:

I would say you should avoid FTP. There are quite a few limitations with
the protocol, and our support for 2.5GB of repositories over ftp would
be pretty limited. (I wouldn't be surprised if we tried to buffer most
of the repo while fetching over ftp.)

Using bzr+ssh or even sftp would see better performance.
