I've just tried the US site and it is running extremely slowly, so the FTP
commands are timing out. Edit the autoupdate script, and look right near
the top of the file. There are a couple of lines that say

#my($ftpsite) = 'ftpeur.nai.com'; # Use faster European mirror instead of
my($ftpsite) = 'ftp.nai.com'; # busy US site

Move the "#" from the first line to the second one, and you'll be using the
European mirror site instead, which is working very quickly at the moment.
