You are having the exact same problem as I am.

The Cerebus FTP server that Dan uses does not always handle the port command
correctly when there are a large number of users on the server. The server is
also setup behind a firewall, so pasv mode doesn't work, or is restricted.

The best thing to do is try to jump on his server early in the morning, or
really late at night. This is when I seem to have no problems at all logging in.
I have emailed Dan several times about the server, but I get no response.

I don't know which version of Cerebus that Dan uses, but there was a recent
update I believe that handle this problem and a few others.
