unable to download from ftp

Hey guys, the problem i'm having is that i cant download any firmware from netgear because the downloads never start. netgear's firmware are on their ftp servers.

DG834v3 & DG834Gv3 Firmware Version 4.01.28UK/4.01.27WW

i have tried with the black sky router and my own white netgear router to download the files and have had no luck. im on winxp sp3. i've tried downloading with Orbit downloader aswell as firefox 3 and IE7. im on the MAX broadband package

this is the usual response i get from orbit.

2008-08-23 10:12:41 Connecting downloads.netgear.com:21
2008-08-23 10:13:02 Connect failed! Socket Error=10065

i've tried using the WinsockxpFix.exe to no avail.

any suggestions?

Try downloading and running PageFix it sometimes works in situations like this.
