Yes, thanks. In case anyone else is having the problem, here's what I
did:

$ ncftp
*ncftp* set passive 0
*ncftp* open ftp://ls6-ftp.cs.uni-dortmund.de
*ncftp* cd pub/src/emacs
*ncftp* get nnir.el
*ncftp* quit

But note that at work today, behind a fancy-schmancy firewall, this
did not work. Had to do it from home.
