Same problem here. Every filetransfer seems to time out after a
certain amount of time or bytes.
I would suspect mtu. There were certainly bugs in the interface mtu code in
rx_kcommon.c. In some cases rxi_FindIfMTU() would just return the first
interface, which on many systems is the loopback and has an mtu of 32K. I
think I fixed this but only time will tell.
To test this theory, hotwire rx_kcommon.c:rxi_InitPeerParams() so it always
sets pp->ifMTU = RX_PP_PACKET_SIZE. Do this only as a test. If it works,
your connections won't time out but they won't go very fast either.
