This is because it tries ipv6 first, and most likely you don't have v6
connectivity. It's harmless, it should fall back to v4.

From the command line, does
ftp ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/2.0/i386/All/bash-2.05.2.7nb2.tgz
fetch the package ?
If this work, can you type
ftp ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/2.0/i386/All/
and successfully issue a dir command at the ftp prompt ?
