--- Comment #1 from John Hein <z7dr6ut7gs at snkmail.com> ---
Fails for me on 6.4 here on my network:

% fetch -v ftp://www.eecs.harvard.edu/pub/nr/noweb-2.11b.tgz
looking up www.eecs.harvard.edu
connecting to www.eecs.harvard.edu:21
setting passive mode
fetch: ftp://www.eecs.harvard.edu/pub/nr/noweb-2.11b.tgz: Connection reset by
peer


... unless I disable passive mode:

% env FTP_PASSIVE_MODE=no fetch -v
ftp://www.eecs.harvard.edu/pub/nr/noweb-2.11b.tgz
looking up www.eecs.harvard.edu
connecting to www.eecs.harvard.edu:21
binding data socket
initiating transfer
remote size / mtime: 738870 / 1150149960
noweb-2.11b.tgz                               100% of  721 kB  169 kBps



Disabling passive mode also works here on FB 7, 8, 9, 10 & 11.
Also when using wget & lftp, they also fail here unless forcing active mode.

Note that active mode may not work for you depending on your network - e.g.,
what your firewall allows.

Is it possible that something about your 6.4 box's environment has somehow
triggered your ftp transaction to use non-passive mode?
