So long as you can check the hash of the downloaded file,
IMO other considerations ought to dominate the choice.

I would prefer something that fits in with mes-philosopy.
ftp seems old and simple, so I would vote for push-back
to fix the ftp client involved.

FWIW:
I clicked on the
    "ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/u-boot-2021.01.tar.bz2"
URL in your "failed to download" message above, and got an open/save-as popup choice widget,
and clicked save-as and successfully downloaded it, and can inspect it with
    tar -tjvf u-boot-2021.01.tar.bz2|less

I am running pureos (debian variant):
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
4.19.0-14-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.19.171-2 (2021-01-30)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

and was in a tilix terminal when I clicked the URL, which started 
    Mozilla Firefox 78.7.0esr
which gave me the open/save-as popup choice.

IDK what firefox does with ftp://...
but it worked. I guess I could strace it, but what does firefox or icecat do on your box
if directed to 
    ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/u-boot-2021.01.tar.bz2
?
