Friedman To be fair, Aryeh - your report was of a sort that indicated it could very well have been an upstream issue. Torrents in particular are unpredictable critters, and - given you've said you had only the one box - I don't see how/where you could have emulated that 'locally'. As to the re(4) 'issue' - we are scp'ing seriously large container files over local switches internal to the rack, AND both carrier-grade and sod-awful residential cable-modem links, csuping often, etc --- all w/o *any* of the reported 're' problems (so far). 7-CURRENT of September ISO, 7-BETA1 with the Realtek NIC, 6.2 with the BGE NIC at one end, plus the odd fxp or rl NIC at 10/100 under 7-BETA1, &-BETA3, 8-CURRENT. We do not presently have hardware to do re to re. Maybe next week. Meanwhile - more accurate / detailed research & reporting, and a bit less sarcasm would be useful. Bill
