Hi, I am behind a firewall and wanting to use mirror to get a local copy of debian. I have set mirror up with passive_ftp=1, but it still does not work. I have traced the problem through the code and found that the error occurs in a routine called open_newport in lchat.pl as the 2nd port is being opened. I think the error is 'bad file number' if I understand that $! in perl gives the errno. I do not really know perl or socket programing, so I am at a loss.
Is anyone else using mirror from behind a firewall without SOCKS? Does anyone have any suggestions?
