Can someone tell me the reason this ALWAYS happens:

cpan> r
CPAN: Storable loaded ok
Going to read /Users/jd/.cpan/Metadata
  Database was generated on Sun, 05 Dec 2004 01:49:28 GMT
LWP not available
CPAN: Net::FTP loaded ok
Fetching with Net::FTP:
  ftp://cpan.etla.org/pub/CPAN/authors/01mailrc.txt.gz
Couldn't fetch 01mailrc.txt.gz from cpan.etla.org


...and so on until finally, after many minutes, something happens.

I can download the file in a second or two with an ftp client, so what is the problem?

JD
