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.

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. Thanks
