ftp downloads

[max]

Hi

Do ftp downloads work on SAIX or IS ? I cannot download any files from ftp sites these last few months. For instance this one which is 2 KB big, can anyone download it ?

ftp://ftp.belnet.be/debian-cd/4.0_r0/amd64/iso-cd/MD5SUMS

if you're using a software firewall, make sure you're not blocking anything important. I had some problems with zonealarm in the past because I accidently blocked an important service which made FTP nonfunctional. FTP works fine for me now

Try running in passive mode.

I can download it!

If and when you get it fixed there are local sources for that type of downloads it might save you your international cap, and improve speeds:
