The same happens with the file coming from a source further away (on the other side of the source machine). Once the transfer has stopped, I can dig up ftp and ask it to 'reget', and nothing more will make it across. I can move other stuff across the link at the same time (so it's not modem lockup etc.). The target machine was a 2.1-STABLE system yesterday when this happened. The file transferred prior to this was twice as large. The problem is absolutely consistent (and it's driving me _NUTS_). ANY ideas? At all?
