Large transfers were ok with the low end router, but died horribly with the "good" router. It was a FreeBSD4.11 server at the time, and in the end it turned out that the increase in bandwidth was directly related to the stall, putting qos on the traffic back down to the previous speeds made the stalling go away. I never did find out if it was a crappy NIC or crappy disk drives, or crappy cofiguration on the server. -- Kenny Dail
