That  is probably because in  Central Europe they are having  troubles
with the connections.  I  know because I   was trying nearly  the same
connection  only on the  opposite direction.   It  broke  down several
times.   Luckily  we have  such fine utilities   like batchftp.  Also,
remember this and don't judge sites and there reachabilities after one
trying. It is not fair...
