Here is more information: when I try to download a tar file for a port
within Netscape or ftp client, I try to get 'dirname.tar' wher dirname is the
name of the directory the port resides in. It is the server job to run tar. There
is a little difference between Netscape and ftp client. Netscape reports only 1k
(stalled) and keeps waiting for the rest; the ftp client receives 10240 and then
give me the prompter, but the tar file contains only the Makefile. This is
happening anytime I try to get a directory like a tar file.
Also I must specify that this is happening on both servers (ftp.freebsd.org
and ftp2.freebsd.org). For normal downloading (e.g. get 'filename') it works
perfectly.
Thank you for your attention,
