Question Can Anyone Settle an Argument on Upload Speeds

Hi all. I need some help.

I am having a "dissagrement" with one of my m8's.

He has stated that the fastest way for me to transfer files to him is to set up an FTP so that he download them from my machine.

His reasoning behind this is that he can download from me using his full 1mb line while if i was to trasnfer the file to his machine i would only be able to upload to him at the 256/128 kb limit (cant rember the upload on a 1mb ntl line).

Surley it doesn't matter what speed he can download at, as the file trasnfer (regardless of wither i send to him or he takes from me) is always going to be controlled by my upload limit.

Also any "official" material on this would be useful as he is a bit stuborn
