Nothing on the internet can be trusted. You can't even trust the people that say trust me, sunshine. And what of the packages you are downloading. Nothing but nothing can be trusted. There is little need for a FTP these days given the other ways files can be transferred.
Also when you see that download button for anything its more than likely the download software is OK but the other nasty you let in thro the back door is already sifting through your history.
So ask yourself is it worth taking the risk. I stopped using IE cus the login is not encrypted and I ran into the same file failures due to various protection measures being initiated server side and local.
FTP was not designed to be safe. Just Google 'FTP is not safe'. Walk away.
