Hmmh ... then it seems the servers are not doing a too good job :( If you look 
at the netstat dump, there are 105 connections to CMS meta-manager at 
xrootd.unl.edu alone and 150 connections to various data servers ... and this is 
after replaying a one-day-worth of access from UCSD (320 files) and waiting for 
/three days/. So, the servers don't close all of them.

The problem here is that proxy process stays up for a long time and it 
instantiates a new XrdCl for every file it is downloading.

Andy, another problem here is with detailed monitoring ... I never get the last 
message of the 't' stream, the one containing the close so monitor thinks the 
files are still kept opened. As there is no disconnect and there are is no new 
activity on the channel, the buffers keeps sitting on the server. If this stays 
like this ... can I ask for 'close' event to cause flushing of the 't' stream 
when io[v] is in effect?

Cheers,
Matevz
