Timed Out Error

[MarlinWahoo]

I've been attempting to connect to elroy's FTP server.
The FTP client I've been using is WS_FTP.
The error message I've been getting is:

!Connection failed elroy.no-ip.org - connection timed out
!Connection failed elroy.no-ip.org

I've been able to connect to other RPGamers servers with the current settings I've been using. I've tried connecting with both active and passive mode and neither has worked.

I'm trying very hard to get my hands on the Metroid Fusion OST. Any help would be nice.

Chances are that the server is simply not online. You generally can't trust the green Online status of most of the servers these days.

So, is there any good method for determining when anyone is online? I can't just keep my FTP running 24x7. If I can't catch it at the right time I'll just get booted for inactivity. I'm running a torrent for the Metroid Fusion OST, but it might not be done for a week. -_- Either way, any advice however small would be a big help. Thanks.

There is really no way to find out if the server is truly active anymore, other than to try to connect to it. We should really move all the unverified servers to a different category, or mark them offline.
