Considering "what's out there" unencrypted transfer of data is kind of
wreckless. As any simple network snooping will grab passwords just like that.
Also download over ftp is vurnable to the man-in-the-middle attack. So
files ought to be signed at least to be secure.
Try to find an isp that support SCP transfer.
This program is nice to do encrypted transfers with:

(With roots from http://www.openssh.com/ and ssh.com)
