That's an indication that the site may be using active FTP and is attempting to open a TCP connection back to the remote machine for data transfer (which is then blocked by your firewall). In today's hostile internet, passive FTP (PASV) is almost a necessity. In passive mode, the remote system connects to the server and they negotiate a second port address for the _server_ to open for data transfer. Since both connections are outbound from the remote, the firewall doesn't hose things.
