Ah, that makes sense.

Mirroring a lot of mostly small files; probably thousands, on a
local network. After several minutes of mirroring an I don't know
how many connections, I'm getting error messages from mirror on some,
but not all, files. The ftp daemon's complaint is:
425 Can't build data connection: Cannot assign requested address.
