Instead, it requires a connection through HTTP proxy (for instance, Netscape can access all ftp sites fine, since it uses the HTTP proxy, but normal command- line ftp gets stuck). Even the tradidional FTP gateway/proxy (described in install guide chapter 2.2.1.6) doesn't do, the only way would be throught the HTTP proxy. So, how would this be possible or do I really have to burn it to a CD first?

During the Carter administration, these teenagers were probably more interested in diapers and baby formula than in economics and foreign policy.
