features

This is a really weird problem. The first few times I try to connect Filezilla just hangs on the line 211-Extended features supported: for a while before coming up and saying Error: Could not connect to server. The filezilla log below:

Command:    PASS ***********
Response:   230 User logged in.
Command:    FEAT
Response:   211-Extended features supported:
Error:  Could not connect to server

The weird thing is if I keep trying to connect eventually it just works and connects fine. After Filezilla knows which features the server supports it stops asking for a while which enables you to connect first time until Filezilla decides it wants to double check the features list again. I'm at a loss on how to debug this.

Has anyone experienced similar?
