The FTP site on blackened does not appear to function properly all the 
time with PASSIVE mode FTP.

Note that many browsers use passive mode by default to avoid issues 
with client side firewalls.

If you haven't configured your local side to block active FTP data 
streams, you can try using the command line client or fetch/wget 
(which APPEAR to use active mode by default, according to the 
manpages) to download the file.  Otherwise, I'm afraid you are out of 
luck.
