   What is happening is that when Synchronet takes a while to generate the QWK   
   packet the FTP data connection times out while waiting. If you notice in the   
   Synchronet log it takes Synchronet 30 seconds to generate the QWK packet, and   
   in that time the connection will be lost.   
      
   I have tried to update this once before and I did some more work again on it   
   today to increase it to 60 seconds.   
      
   I'll continue to fine tune this but in the meantime if you upgrade to the very   
   latest version (I am compiling it right now so if you download A47 after   
   reading this) the version of QWKPOLL in this build should be a little more   
   understanding in terms of long waits.  If you try it please let me know how it   
   works out for you.   
      
   Thank you for the logs particularly representing both sides of the transfer,   
   that was very helpful!
