Hi Martin, all,

I am having lots of trouble ftp'ing to ftp.netbsd.org still.

I am behind the employers firewall.
I'm using -p for passive firewall.

It seems to work via http://  on web but is incredibly slow.
But on the command line always fails completely.

Other sites eg microsoft work ok.
See below.


Just wondered, anyone any ideas on this?
Must be some reason.

many thanks,
chs,
Paul.
