Yesterday, we found we cannot install RH by FTP any more.
After several trys, we found the problem might be caused by wu-ftpd 2.6
We also remembered that we cannot mirror TeX distribution from ftp.dante.de
since two weeks ago. After we go to their site to check, YES! they
use wu-ftp 2.6. OK! Then, we switch our servers to proftpd.
They are working well now ...

Because wu-ftpd always bring us so much troubles, we are going
to change our servers to proftpd in two weeks... if proftpd runs normal.

So, check what version of ftpd your are using on the ftp server firstly.
Maybe we met the same problem.
