Hey,

There might be something I'm missing, but I was unable to get the list of
known FTP servers during the installation.

I used the cd44.iso, and everything else went fine, except where it asks if
I want a list of FTP servers displayed to choose a FTP server close to me.

"Display the list of known ftp servers? [no]", I answered yes, and it hangs
there, nothing happened for maybe 10-15 minutes, so I shut it down and
started installation again. This time answering no, and typing in a ftp
server manually. Everything worked just fine, so it's not my connection
that's broken.

Later on I noticed similar (maybe same) issue, trying to use ports, some of
the FTP servers it tried to use failed (too many users, etc), but again
ftp.openbsd.org hangs.

One thing that I did notice was that it tries to ftp
ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/... when I tried that from command line it also
hangs, if I tried with just ftp ftp.openbsd.org it asks for username and
works just fine.

The result from command line:
$ ftp ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/
Connected to openbsd.sunsite.ualberta.ca.
220 openbsd.srv.ualberta.ca FTP server ready.
331 Guest login ok, send your email address as password.
230-   Welcome to ftp.openbsd.org at the University of Alberta

Not sure if this is just me, but it's a bit weird that I faced this same
issue when trying to freshly install OpenBSD 4.4, and it couldn't fetch the
list of mirrors, not much I could have broken at that point I think.
