I find that you must NOT use the passive mode when connecting the the LC
ftp site.  If someone knows how do this with a web browser, please let me
know.  If you have an ftp client, please change the transfer mode to
active mode, then go to ftp.loc.gov.  You want to enter pub, then gmdndl.  

If you don't currently have an ftp client, I can recommend FileZilla
(http://filezilla.sourceforge.net), which is good and free. It is what I
use at home and I am quite happy with it.
