it was actually /etc/wgetrc that as default (at least I did not change
it) had 'passive_ftp = on'. So the problem with wget is now solved -
but...
I don't like email attachments and normally include a link to files
instead. I know of at least one case where it didn't work to click on
the link in - I guess - outlook. Recently I had to exchange my router
D-Link DI804V with a new D-Link 604 - before I did not have the problem,
so it seems the DI804V was able to handle passive ftp's 'internally'.
