Hi Martin, This was due to a firewall restricting the dynamically allocated data return port of a passive ftp login for bazaar. The simple solution of restricting the range from which fileZilla allocates data return ports and allowing ip traffic on this port range through the firewall solved the problem. Unfortnunate error msg but then a google on the socket error no. does suggest faulty router / network configuration as being the source of the error.
