We had numerous occasions like this;  found out the way "around" it was to
ftp-login to our firewall, then ftp to the site (using "quote site" command)
--- seems some firewalls get snotty when using a browser for ftp.

Alternatively, go home (or to offsite client) and download via DSL or T1 ...
both answers work for me.

I once saw behavior like this while trying to download client software
to an Intel-architecture Linux system. The problem went away when I
shut down Linux, powered off the system, and powered on the system. I
have since seen other behavior suggesting that the network card on
that system is a little flaky.
