This belongs more on -questions than it does on -hackers. Also, you don't give any specifics on what your firewall does and does not allow you to do. You may be able to fetch through your firewall by enabling passive mode. To do so, set the environment variable FTP_PASSIVE_MODE to anything but "no". fetch(1) also has a -p flag that does the same thing. See the manpages for fetch(1) and fetch(3) for other options, including using an ftp and/or an http proxy.
