Before having a paranoia attack, make sure your ip address looks up (at
your end, not the servers) ftp will hand for a while if it has trouble
doing this...It's always possible your isp got hit you know -/

It's also possible bind on your machine is having troubles forwarding
queries...look for odd errors about in-addr in log files...

also, be patient, i think ftp should give up in a minute or two here and
let you in...
