any ideas?


Dont use ftp at all? you probably need to use passive ftp if you want it to work. the test is to take your ftp test further by trying to actually download something - if it gives you an error, then the high data port that ftp is trying to talk on is getting blocked. So you need to issue a PASV first. (just switch on passive mode really)


I would just use an http mirror.
mirror.pacific.net.au/debian should work fine
