Have you tried setting your network preferences to use passive FTP transfers? Non-passive FTP can sometimes get fubar behind NAT, if your firewall/router lacks specific knowledge of how to translate FTP commands. I have a Linksys router, and I have to use passive FTP - although, my router is pretty old, as such things go.I am somewhat suspicious that this has something to do with the Dec 2002 developer tools; but I have no evidence.
Looking at Net::Config, it appears that Perl's Net::* modules, which LWP is built upon, honor the system preferences. On the other paw, ftp, ncftpget, etc. may be using their own preferences. It could be that either the recent dev tools update, or the recent 10.2.x update reset your network preferences to the defaults.
