One setting is provided to control the pipeline depth in cases where the
remote server is not RFC conforming or buggy (such as Squid 2.0.2)
Acquire::http::Pipeline-Depth can be a value from 0 to 5 indicating how many

Several settings are provided to control passive mode. Generally it is safe
to leave passive mode on, it works in nearly every environment. However some
situations require that passive mode be disabled and port mode ftp used
instead. This can be done globally, for connections that go through a proxy
or for a specific host (See the sample config file for examples)

It is possible to proxy FTP over HTTP by setting the em(ftp_proxy)
environment variable to a http url - see the discussion of the http method
above for syntax. You cannot set this in the configuration file and it is
