I have got no idea as to why it doesn't work. I have tried it using lynx and mozilla. lynx complains that it cannot access the document and mozilla returns an empty page with the URL ftp://ftp.dict.org/ (it times out?)
Since it seems to work for others, I tried it using the ftp client
$ ftp ftp.dict.org
and I was able to access the dictd software. I am currently downloading!
Another problem I had is with wget. After figuring out the actual URL using the ftp client program I tried
$ wget -c ftp://ftp.dict.org/pub/dict/dictd-1.7.1.tar.gz
And I got the following error.
(begin-wget-output)
--20:56:28-- ftp://ftp.dict.org/pub/dict/dictd-1.7.1.tar.gz
(try: 2) => `dictd-1.7.1.tar.gz'
Connecting to ftp.dict.org:21... connected! Logging in as anonymous ... Logged in!
==> TYPE I ... done. ==> CWD pub/dict ... done. ==> PORT ...
Invalid PORT.
Retrying.
--20:57:12-- ftp://ftp.dict.org/pub/dict/dictd-1.7.1.tar.gz
(try: 3) => `dictd-1.7.1.tar.gz'
Connecting to ftp.dict.org:21... connected! Logging in as anonymous ... Logged in!
==> TYPE I ... done. ==> CWD pub/dict ... done. ==> PORT ...
Invalid PORT.
Retrying.
(end-wget-output)
So I am finally downloading the s/w through the ftp client program itself.
Thank you all for the response.
Cheers,
anna

Well i think i can explain, it seems to be a very restricted site, lynx and netscape failed to get anything from that site, ftp can get things but only in "passive mode" and ONLY when there are "few" users, here is the output of my attempt to retrive the file;
ftp> get dictd-1.7.1.tar.gz
local: dictd-1.7.1.tar.gz remote: dictd-1.7.1.tar.gz 227 Passive mode OK (209,58,150,153,8,142) 550 7 of 5 maximum users. Downloads disabled. ftp>
In otherwords the site allows more connections than it will allow downloads for, as you see i was user number 7 and only 5 downloads at a time seem to be allowed.

Thats because that site only allows passive mode.

Well. As I have pointed out in my earlier response, my ftp program is able to resolve ftp.dict.org
But still, I tried your suggestion, and my lynx still complains that it cannot access the document.
Thanks for your time.
