What to do against "hanging" downloads?

["Gueven Bay" <gueven.bay%googlemail.com@localhost>]

I am building now the guide (/usr/pkgsrc/doc/guide) and in this
process bash is built for which patches are downloaded. The system
tries to download from ftp.informatik.hu-berlin.de the bash32-01 to
bash32-1x patches, but every time it is stuck at this step
 229 Entering Extended Passive Mode (|||15323|)
The system waits for two or three minutes then he downloads this
little patch which takes some seconds.

What can I do to avoid these "hanging" downloads, please?




Thanks
Gueven
