I installed rapier on n800/diablo and it, well, sort of works. No modules are included, so I told it to download them, and it sits there forever. I turned debug on and it said timed out

Rapier starts
download_mods_list(self,'ftp://crosswire.org/pub/sword/raw/mods.d.tar.gz','file:///home/user/MyDocs/tmp/mods.d.tar.gz')
problem getting a file Handle='End of file'
download module list did not work


I tried downloading that file using the tablet web browser and it worked, so I checked my linux router/firewall and see the tablet connecting to my proxy, and nothing happens after that!

any ideas?
