.. One fine day, Paul waffled to Dieter..

 Hello Paul,

 PE> Dieter, you sent me an archive today that had 32 bytes of junk
 PE> before the zip header (according to info-zip), and it ended 
 PE> with a whole lot of crap.  What went wrong?  11 messages were
 PE> able to be processed after manual intervention.  The archive
 PE> you sent me was 7712 bytes in length.

 There were 12 messages.

 PE> Also, there were some problems when you tried to send me the
 PE> archive (Binkley has recorded some ZCRCW errors).  Do you have
 PE> the packet you sent me?  If you do, can you zip it up into
 PE> a file called dieter.zip or something (ie zip the 00000008.MO0
 PE> into dieter.zip) and send it to me so that I can take a look.
 
 Unfortunately, I don't have the 00000008.MO0 archive, only the 
 original rep packet, which I'm sending, but it looks alright.
 
 PE> Any ideas on any strange things you were doing for both of
 PE> these problems to occur?

 I've noticed a large number of retries during the upload process 
 lately. Telix shows an initial transfer of say 80%, and then 
 retries several times, with the percentage counter dropping to a 
 much lower value, say 25%, and then constant retries until the 
 entire upload is sent.
 
 Downloads are OK - no retries at all.
 
 I seem to recall Rod and Bill mentioned something about this about a 
 month ago, but for some reason I hadn't replied to it. Have now 
 though, in this packet.
 
 Dieter
