Probably proftp is taking a long time, or otherwise misbehaving.  Maybe it
supports some encryption format and that is the slowness?  Or maybe it
doesn't exit cleanly when we expect it to?  Don't know, as I don't use
proftp.  Check your log files for any clues.  A sniffer would probably
tell a lot, if you can put one on your network.  Could be an auth/identd
server timeout also?

Okay, so it is working, just annoyingly slow.

It is trying to retrieve the forwarding address so it can pre-fill in
the form.

Not me.  Seems to be specific to your setup.
