[Lunar-bugs] Problems retrieving modules

[Lunar bug reports list]

Lunar tools times out, unable to connect to ftp port when retrieving 
most modules.  This began at least 4 months ago.  wget establishes the 
connection and path.  If the module actually exists on that server, it 
returns the module size, then times out on the PASV command, unable to 
connect.   Multiple sites and modules involved, including gnu, gnome, 
and lunar.  If the module doesn't exist on that server, it returns 
"done" for the size and then times out on the PASV command.  Affects 
both lunar 1.62 and 1.64, lunar and theedge coretools.  While it is 
timing out, I can cut and paste the same URL into links or firefox and 
retrieve the module (if it exists on that server).  Doesn't seem to 
matter whether portmapper is running or not.  Also, behavior is the same 
whether using a lan or wireless connection to my broadband router.  Used 
to work OK.
