Hmm. Has that always been the case. I think our firewall only supports
passive ftp.

Check your version of librepo. If it's less than 1.17.6 then update it

Thanks for that advise. However it looks like
I already have version 1.17.6 of librepo
$ rpm -qi librepo | grep Version
Version     : 1.7.16

Is something changed from F21 (yum) to F22 (dnf) ?
Everything was working great in F21 and now dnf is very slow.

dnf install tmux took more than 5 minutes and a simple dnf update takes up
to one hour!
