Looks like you have some proxying mechanism which fucks up. It definitely appears that your ftp client is not terminating client properly, something eats the connection termination. As said, if you are behind a nat, you should definitely make sure you have ftp proxying running, so that the connections are tracked correctly. Otherwise, use an http mirror, it doesn't have this shortcoming.
