FTP files are never cached. The reason for this is that if you cached large downloads, you'd end up blowing out your cache file with just ftp data. FTP tends to involve larger files than http. I'm working on ftp resume support (well, it already works, I just have to fix up some issues for the reviewers), which will then allow you to resume an ftp download you started in another session, using the download manager.
