Ken, I've seen this problem before, but I'm not sure of the whys and
wherefores. Mark has apparently set the Team.Net FTP server (where the
monster list is stored) to accept only a single connection from any one
user, presumably in an attempt to limit resource usage. The problem is that
Internet Explorer seems to always use two connections to a FTP host. If the
second connection is denied, the page will not come up.
One workaround is to use a real FTP client to access the Team.Net FTP
server. I use a rather obsolete (but still quite functional) freeware
client called LeechFTP

With it, you have to specify in the 'advanced' section of the connection
dialog that the host will only accept a single connection (as otherwise it
tries to use many connections to improve performance).
