   A friend of mine contacted me in a panic two days ago about exactly 
this problem, but on a Linux machine.  I'm not much of a Linux guy, but 
I've been trying to help him debug it anyway.  He said his transfers 
stop at around 750MB, which coincidentally is near the amount of memory 
in the machine I believe he said the machine has 768MB.

   How much memory do you have in your machine?  My half-baked theory 
based on spotty information is that data is being buffered in memory 
but not written to disk until the network transfer is complete.  What 
do you think?
