in reply to CPAN - Post Installation Modification & Mirror Sites

My system doesn't work with active FTP (misconfigured router I haven't fixed yet), and I get similar errors if I don't run with the environment variable FTP_PASSIVE set. It looks like the files LWP is trying to get are there; ncftp can get them from my box.

It's also possible you're having network problems unrelated to CPAN. Can you FTP these files manually?

    It appears that some sites are very slow. Changing mirror addresses solved the problem. Thanks.
