odd...still borking...I'm about 4 layers deep in a WAN behind a load balancing NAT server and a wireless router and some part of all this "security" may be the issue with the passive ftp request, but why just with one pkg? weird...

Please try once again. (I changed something at elektroni.phys.tut.fi which might help. Or not.)
