You and me both fumbling at this - my hope was that there was something I was overlooking - maybe filtering or firewall (I've tried this with every part of those shut off) or even some sort of management setting on how much bandwidth I can bring into my own box in a stretch of time. I've tried pulling ISOs through my own webserver and ftp server on the box, with no problems, but at the moment I don't have a working second box available (my second computer "hosed" fried its cpu after 5 1/2 years of 24/7 operation without a reliable fan on its heatsink) - I want (whether this happens or not depends on clients wanting to buy enough to get a volume discount on equipment) a couple rack mountable smp units, but *wanted* systems don't transfer files until they are actually *bought and installed* ;) -- Mark L.
