i realize i'm a few days late coming in on this one, but I'd personally 
recommend pure-ftpd. Its very flexible, provides better virtual user 
support than vsftpd, and has a very clean security track record. 
Although I havent used it for anonymous ftp, I have been utilizing it as 
my primary ftp server for almost 7 yrs now. Going through the 
configuration file, it seems to offer many options towards anonymous ftp...
