And with all due respect non-HTTP protocols are not always availiable and having to use them would kind of defeat the point of a having a fast connection.
It's becoming more and more normal to have a http and bittorrent for many file hosting sites and I think the ISP will dread the day customers get a better speed on a bittorrent swarm than a normal download .
