This looks like a problem with SGI's ftp server support for EPSV. The
download works fine if you use the --disable-epsv switch, forcing curl
to use PASV instead of EPSV. Curl attempts to connect to the port number
returned by EPSV, but the port doesn't respond--packets are probably being
filtered out by a firewall at SGI.
