I see the same problem and I am close to
ftp.xemacs.org.

Am I the only one having problems with ftp.xemacs.org?
Typically one in three retrievals never finishes. Or to be more
precise the file seems to get there completely[1] but the ftp client (and
therefore EFS) never signals the end of the transfer.
I thought it could be some local configuration problem, however I am
not at my girlfriends university and there the same problem occur.
All the transfers seem to be pretty quick so it does not seem to be a
congestion problem (at least not in the ftp.xemacs.org->*.ch
direction).
