        What is your evidence that REST makes a difference?

        I've not investigated cacheing of FTP in squid, but
        cacheablity is much more likely to depend on the format
        of directory listings than on support for restarts.

        Incidentally, I don't know any sites that support the
        REST feature according to the specification - all make
        assumptions about Unix like file systems which the FTP
        RFC doesn't permit and don't support the required
        checkpointing of the data stream.
