I am currently downloading the 11MB of
/Smalltalk/Squeak/3.6/unix-linux/Squeak-3.6-5429-i686...
with ncftp and it works well, as it is probably using
a passive connection.
apt, however still refuses to connect.
ncftp also has problems if trying active connections.
ncftp> set passive off
ncftp> open squeak

That would be swell :-)

Unfortunately, that would be me ... and it's a stupid iptables filter
blocking all connections originating outside of my office.
I tried to explicitely allow connections from st.cs.uiuc.edu's
ip-address, but it still can only get passive connections.
And the last time, I let the firewall down during long downloads,
my linux router promptly got visited by some fool with a root kit.
