   | It's hard to say the package is broken if I'm the only one that sees a 
   | problem,
 
 I'm also just guessing at the cause - we'd need a tcpdump trace to
 be more convinced what's happening.

   | misconfigured NAT).
 
 Aside from "misconfigured NAT" being redundant, it isn't so much misconfigured
 as just lacking support for EPSV (if my guess is correct).  We also have no
 idea which particular NAT has the problem - except that it seems to be
 somewhere between you and the server in Japan.

 ps: ftp is from the base system, there is a version in pkgsrc (net/tnftp),
 but its really only intended for non *bsd users.
