This is not mysterious. The ftp daemon is trying to resolve the ip address of
the connecting ip to a name, and timing out since there is no record for that
in the DNS. Setting up proper reverse DNS will solve that problem.
You will see this problem with any service that insists on reverse DNS being
setup, like a pop/imap daemon, ftpd, etc.
As for a good ftp daemon, why not just use scp if possible? Or at least
sftp. Proftpd is good, and easy to configure. Pureftpd is also supposed to be
good.
