To all who responded ... Many thanks for your suggestions ! I finally got it, using good old command line ftp, from a server outside of our DMZ. I believe there was a temporary network congestion somewhere, as I needed 2 retries before getting it complete, my first attempts resulting in stalled sessions ... Anyway it's here, and I'm now ready to enjoy this "wonderful" new interface ;-) Thanks again. Cheers. Arnaud

If you type http:// in place of the ftp:// it will probablly work. When my PC was switched out the last time I had the same problem and this took care of it.

You are probably behind a firewall which is not set up to allow the FTP server to initiate data transfer, in the common, Active form of FTP. Your IE is probably set up to use Passive FTP (refer to its Options, Advanced, "Use Passive FTP" setting). If using a Windows FTP client, you may find the NcFTP package more satisfying (http:// www.ncftp.com/download/).
