I've seen slow traffic due to the firewall trying to do many things
like checking for viruses, packet anomalies, etc...
Maybe there's some checks that works better or worst depending if the
ftp session is passive or not.

I have looked at the implied rules and I do have an explicit rule to
deny all and I don't see anything that would allow this connection.
I even created a rule to block this and put it at the top and still
don't see any changes.
To answer the other emails, Yes, I'm sure I could put an ACL in the
front router to block access, but I was hoping to find a better
solution.
