I am using passive transfer.  I have tried three different clients: Solaris,
NetBSD1.4.2 and WS32FTP, all the same.

The opening menu of this mirror is quit different (Version wu-2.6.0) from

adaptec.

I am behind a firewall (no control over that), but why only ftp.netbsd.org
and most of its mirrors (in Japan)?
