It does not work from here using wget under Windows. See the wget log
attached.

I can even connect using telnet :

220 Perforce p4ftpd FTP Server ready
user anonymous
331 Password required for user anonymous.
pass popineau at ese-metz.fr
230 User anonymous logged in.
cwd /Master/texmf/web2c
250 cwd command successful
retr texmf.cnf
150 Opening ASCII mode data connection.


Connection to host lost.

Any retrieve command fails.

Any hint ?
