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.
