Knut, A couple of possible reasons that make perfect sense.
First, a number of ISPs intercept port 80 traffic (http) for advertising or cache purposes but don’t do the same for the ftp port; if the cache or advertising machine has DNS issues, so will anything downstream. Second, ftp and http may point to different IP addresses — for example my file and web servers are different machines so are on different addresses. Added to which they have different TTL values too. I hope this helps.
