The size difference is pointless here if you are about to do a git
clone of a repository.
The git history alone can add a transfer 2-10 times bigger than the
tar.bz2 file [depending on the repo's git history].

What about switching the FTP site to http://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/ ?
[At least] I prefer HTTP over git, and if FTP is problematic, HTTP
seems reliable for this.
HTTPS seems to exist: https://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/
But it seems to point to some owncloud/nextcloud instance, so that is
unusable atm.
