Hi Andy, I quite understand, but this is a little cryptic to me. The thing that I dislike in line of principle is that a server side resource related trouble is treated by the whole system as a deadly situation. And the result is a truncated file copy, which is really bad. I wonder if the garble can be solved by making the client treat that kind of error as a recoverable one instead of a fatal one. If you think that this policy won't make bad things worse, I'll have a look into it. Fabrizio Andrew Hanushevsky wrote: > Hi Fabrizio, > > I looked into this some more.
