It looks like many of us are stuck at the same point.
I did make a few tests and I can report what I found out.
When at home, I can connect through passive mode, but from outside LAN, i must connect through active mode.
This was made clear by reading out the connection transcript from Fetch.
Note these two lines:
<< Making data connection to 178.195.122.xxx port 5055 >> Passive mode tries to transfer data through port 5055
<< 200 PORT command successful. Consider using PASV. >> Fetch finds out by itself it must switch to active mode, but hints us about using passive mode
