On screen 1, it says "Connection timed out - please select another site"
above the site selection box.

I tried again, with ftp.freebsd.org, but there were too many anonymous
users.  The error message box showed up and disappeared way too quickly
to see it, and then the "Connection timed out - please select another site"
dialog showed up again.

When using this particular firewall method, in order to change sites I need
to be able to change the username -- is there any chance that there could
be some way to access the FTP username/password menu from this "respecify"
point?


I finally managed to get through again, but a bunch of dialogs passed by
really quickly and the "Connection timed out" menu showed up again.  The
debug screen says:

DEBUG: FtpOpen(ftp, beta.xerox.com, anonymous@ftp.freebsd.org, fenner@)
DEBUG: Trying to resolve `beta.xerox.com'

DEBUG: Notify: Couldn't open FTP connection to beta.xerox.com

The same series of messages appears every additional time I try it.  I can't
try a different site for the reason above -- I need to change the username.

Note that after specifying "cancel" on the retry menu, I get a dialog
box that says

failed to retreive piece file bin/bin.cs after retries!
Aborting the transfer

It looks like there should be a number between "after" and "retries", and
I think "failed" should be capitalized.

And, surprise, surprise, it kept going, grabbing manpages -- no ftplib
problems.  I guess it was only in the retry that it was having trouble.
So, I guess we'll see if the truncated bin set is going to cause me
problems (I suspect it will, as I currently don't have a /mnt/kernel =)
