Probably.  Packet loss can be a tricky thing, and depend on any one of a
number of parameters. You may well need to tell ping to use bigger
packets -- your FTP session will be maxing out the MTU, so try 1500 byte
packets as well as the default size.

In fact (and now I come to mention it), MTU problems are a pretty good
fit to what you're seeing. Except in that case, I doubt you'ld have had
any success at downloading at all.

	Cheers,
