Vsftpd behaving insonsistently...

EDIT3: OK. bump, and making it simpler

my current /etc/vsftpd.conf:

#
# simple ftp config /etc/vsftpd.conf
#

background=YES

listen=YES
listen_port=21
#connect_from_port_20=YES
ftp_data_port=50120
tcp_wrappers=YES

local_enable=NO
write_enable=NO

anonymous_enable=YES
no_anon_password=YES
anon_root=/home/server
anon_upload_enable=NO

pasv_enable=YES
#pasv_address=209.94.131.65
pasv_min_port=50000
pasv_max_port=50100

xferlog_enable=YES
log_ftp_protocol=YES

this is the closest thing to a "working" set up i can get. 

with this config, i find:

   1  i can connect from firefox/filezilla from my work PC just fine

   2  many other successful connections and downloads in the logs

   3  various ppl tell me my server is unresponsive for them

   4  wget does not work at all for anyone

in trying to fix points 3 and 4 above, i find:

   1  uncommenting "connect_from_port_20=YES" breaks it completely; hangs on "logging in..."

   2  uncommenting "passive_address=[ext ip]" fixes wget but breaks everything else

   3  "wget --no-passive-ftp" yields "Invalid PORT" errors... always.

any ideas?
