I'm trying to download MikTex from the abovementioned link, there's a step where it asks: the Download Source -- choose your download source(listed a bunch of countries, protocols and Hosts). I don't know what to choose.

Choose the one that is closest to you geographically. Or just choose randomly.

The list for the US is long as it has many hosts, and there's FTP and HTTP. Do i choose FTP or HTTP?

Just try one. If it isn't working, you'll know.

The list of country, shows the nearest source, theoretically, if you download from a nearer source, the download speed would be faster. ( Personally I've never noticed any difference, even when I'm downloading something as far as America ) Like Obob said, just try either one, FTP or HTTP. You just want the files, you really don't care where you get it from.
