This is a known problem.

The reason for the problem is that the SSL negotiation is attempted by curl
when the server doesn't. There are several different work-arounds to choose
from:

1. Downgrade to curl 7.14.0

2. Use PORT instead of PASV (using -P)

3. Get tomorrow's daily snapshot of curl 7.14.2

4. Build 7.14.1 from source and manually apply the patch that reverts this bad
    SSL negotation "fix". See the patch I attached to this mail:
    http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2005-09/0163.html

Sorry for the troubles.
