I recently got this behavior from another FTP site in Germany with
classic computer content.  Each click is a new FTP session, and about
5 clicks in, my IP got auto-banned for a large number of minutes.
Same with using wget.  First few files were fine, then banned.

Right.  I switched to an FTP client and had no problems (on that other
site) getting whatever I needed.

I suspect there's a new feature in FTP servers (since the last time I
set one up) that defaults to this behavior.  Perhaps it's to impede
simple bots from siphoning off content.
