When downloading the global timezone database from 
ftp://ftp.iana.org/tz/tzdata-latest.tar.gz, active FTP is currently 
used (since this is the default in Horde_Vfs_Ftp).

On many systems (behind a firewall or NAT) this will not work by 
default, since this requires incoming connections from port 20. It is 
probably better to use passive FTP for downloading this data. 
Virtually all FTP servers will nowadays support passive FTP, since 
that's used by the vast majority of FTP clients by default.
