I think the CD or the DVD is a great solution. If the kids had access to servers where they could park these files then load them into their own computers they'd probably get past the firewall problem. The Internet access I use doesn't, that I'm aware of, offer big places to park stuff like that. The university does, and I use that every so often. But I'm not going to have my daughter and her friend parking their games on my university space.

Symantec's firewall is a bugger sometimes. It has gotten easier over the years, but I'll sit down with her on this latest version and see what we can work out as far as permissions for downloads.

But not many FTP answers have turned up so far.
