That's probably not it.  I've pulled something like 8000 files from this 
computer over the last week (rebuilding a distfiles directory from 
scratch)  The only other problem I've had is that the transfer is so 
slow that the server "loses the session" so that a 100M file will 
complete but not verify.  I think those FTP servers just have a too 
short timeout, this one doesn't even start a transfer.
