I have tried it using lynx and mozilla. lynx complains that it cannot access the document and mozilla returns an empty page with the URL ftp://ftp.dict.org/ (it times out?) Since it seems to work for others, I tried it using the ftp client $ ftp ftp.dict.org and I was able to access the dictd software. I am currently downloading! Another problem I had is with wget. After figuring out the actual URL using the ftp client program I tried $ wget -c ftp://ftp.dict.org/pub/dict/dictd-1.7.1.tar.gz And I got the following error. (begin-wget-output) --20:56:28-- ftp://ftp.dict.org/pub/dict/dictd-1.7.1.tar.gz (try: 2) => `dictd-1.7.1.tar.gz' Connecting to ftp.dict.org:21... connected! Logging in as anonymous ... Logged in! ==> TYPE I ... done. ==> CWD pub/dict ... done. ==> PORT ... Invalid PORT. Retrying. --20:57:12-- ftp://ftp.dict.org/pub/dict/dictd-1.7.1.tar.gz (try: 3) => `dictd-1.7.1.tar.gz' Connecting to ftp.dict.org:21... connected! Logging in as anonymous ... Logged in! ==> TYPE I ... done. ==> CWD pub/dict ... done. ==> PORT ... Invalid PORT. Retrying. (end-wget-output) So I am finally downloading the s/w through the ftp client program itself. Thank you all for the response.
