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
