Here are two attempts from a UK debian mirror:

ftp ftp.uk.debian.org
Connected to debian.hands.com.
220 (vsFTPd 2.0.7)
Name (ftp.uk.debian.org:mark): anonymous 331 Please specify the password.
Password:
230 Login successful.
Remote system type is UNIX.
Using binary mode to transfer files.
ftp> cd debian/pool
250 Directory successfully changed.
ftp> ls
500 Illegal PORT command.
ftp: bind: Address already in use
ftp> ls
421 Service not available, remote server has closed connection ftp> quit

I'll try again:

ftp ftp.uk.debian.org
Connected to debian.hands.com.
220 (vsFTPd 2.0.7)
Name (ftp.uk.debian.org:mark): anonymous 331 Please specify the password.
Password:
230 Login successful.
Remote system type is UNIX.
Using binary mode to transfer files.
ftp> cd debian/pool
250 Directory successfully changed.
ftp> ls
200 PORT command successful. Consider using PASV. 150 Here comes the
directory listing.

The computer sits waiting at this point and the directory listing never
appears.

I try a third time. The results are the same as above.

As a forth attempt, I try things differently:

ftp ftp.uk.debian.org
Connected to debian.hands.com.
220 (vsFTPd 2.0.7)
Name (ftp.uk.debian.org:mark): anonymous 331 Please specify the password.
Password:
230 Login successful.
Remote system type is UNIX.
Using binary mode to transfer files.
ftp> passive
Passive mode on.
ftp> cd /debian/pool
250 Directory successfully changed.
ftp> ls
227 Entering Passive Mode (83,142,228,128,159,5) 150 Here comes the
directory listing. 
drwxr-xr-x   38 1069     1072         4096 Dec 15  2009 contrib 
drwxr-xr-x   62 1069     1072         4096 Apr 14 22:32 main
drwxr-xr-x   40 1069     1072         4096 Feb 14 23:03 non-free
226 Directory send OK.
ftp> cd main
250 Directory successfully changed.
ftp> ls
227 Entering Passive Mode (83,142,228,128,28,92) ftp: connect: Connection
timed out

What is going wrong here?

Mark.
