The attached refers to problems with Lynx mirrors not connecting to the
master site at lynx.isc.org. There were discussions on the lynx-dev list
a while ago concerning wuftpd. I don't recall seeing if lynx-current has
fixes for the wuftpd behavioural changes.

I finally found it; 

http://www.wu-ftpd.org/broken-clients.html

"One of the changes in 2.6.0 improves the daemon's implementation of the
RFCs.  Specifically, the daemon now requires the remote client to honor a
close before the it will send a reply on the control channel.  In most
cases, this has no effect on the FTP session.  Experience during testing
showed this change causes problems for a small number of clients."  

This list included Lynx & mirror.

I have gone ahead and recompiled wu-ftpd with "support" for these "broken
clients" on the server that serves lynx.isc.org, so you shouldn't have a
problem now.

(Additionally, there is a patch for mirror v2.9 that takes care of it on
their end, it's available via the link above)

Best Wishes - Peter
