Timing out several times? Is ftp access blocked in your firewall?

A missing file should not cause any timeout, it should simply generate
an error and fall back to sources.buildroot.net, E.G.:

wget ftp://ftp.csx.cam.ac.uk/pub/software/programming/pcre/pcre-8.37.tar.bz2
--2017-03-07 13:43:28--  ftp://ftp.csx.cam.ac.uk/pub/software/programming/pcre/pcre-8.37.tar.bz2
           => ‘pcre-8.37.tar.bz2’
