This is due to tcp wrappers on the ftp server of ftp.debian.org. In the /etc/hosts.deny they probably had the line 'ALL: PARANOID'.
This will disconnect hosts with name/address discrepencies. For instance, you connect as 'myhost.ml.org'. ftp.debian.org looks up the address for 'myhost.ml.org' and finds that IP aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd is assigned to 'myhost.myisp.net'. Since 'myhost.ml.org' != 'myhost.myisp.net' you get disconnected.
