The link to ps200.exe times out.  This and other links for downloads relating to
the same product are apparently dead, but IE responds promptly to them all.

Reproducible: Always

Reporter, when you file a TE bug, please follow the reporting guidelines.

When I click on ftp://downloads.netgear.com/files/netgear1/ps200.exe moz trunk
tries to download it.

no problem here, using
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b) Gecko/20050115
However, when trying it with Firefox, My Norton Internet Security gave me a warning.

Looks like the site uses a non standard port that is blocked. After OK'ing it in
Norton, it also works in Firefox for me.
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b) Gecko/20050114
Firefox/1.0+ 

So my guess is that you've got a firewall somewhere that's blocking things...
