Well i think i can explain, it seems to be a very restricted site, lynx and
netscape failed to get anything from that site, ftp can get things but only
in "passive mode" and ONLY when there are "few" users, here is the output of
my attempt to retrive the file;
ftp> get dictd-1.7.1.tar.gz
local: dictd-1.7.1.tar.gz remote: dictd-1.7.1.tar.gz
227 Passive mode OK (209,58,150,153,8,142)
550 7 of 5 maximum users. Downloads disabled.

In otherwords the site allows more connections than it will allow downloads
for, as you see i was user number 7 and only 5 downloads at a time seem to be
allowed.

Thats because that site only allows passive mode.
