Are you attempting to transfer the files thru any form of gateway device (a NAT'd box, a router, a DSL connection?)? It may be a problem with the MTU settings of the interface if that's the case. -Adam -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Joel Rosenberg Sent: Tuesday, February 06, 2001 7:37 AM To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: file transfer stalls Hello, I recently set up FreeBSD on a COMPAQ deskpro pentium 133. It seems to run perfectly except when I try to transfer large files to it. Be it through NFS, ftp (client and server), or scp, the transfer stalls at a particular point for certain files (but unique to each file). No errors are given, the transfer rate just slows down exponentially at a certian point and stalls. I tried using wget to resume the file transfer, but it stalled at the same point. Even after I remembered the point at which it stalled, and stopped the transfer manually a few megs before, once it resumed, it would be fine until it reached that same point in the transfer. This is beginning to get cumbersome as I want to install some apps from the ports with file sizes that seem to be affected. Another note, I've also seen it happen when I'm uploading a small image to it, and it seems to happen mostly (only?) with binary files. Any help/ideas would be much apprectiated.
