Okay, good. There have have multiple changes since SEXYZ was given the version number 3.0. I suggest you get/use a recent build of SEXYZ v3.0 for Win32.

SEXYZ is an external utility, not technically "part of" Synchronet, so the version of SEXYZ is separate from the version of Synchronet that you use/run.

You can get the latest build of sexyz.exe for Win32 from a couple of places, one of which is sbbs_dev.zip that's built daily. You know how to find/download that file?

I really hope that's not the square we land on.

I just downloaded a couple several-hundred MB files from Vertrauen using ZMODEM and sexyz for Linux and Win32 to send the files (SyncTERM v1.2b receiving). Worked perfect, so I suspect what you're describing is a bug that's already been fixed. But if it is not, I hope you'll continue to help me/us understand what is different about your system or the files your downloading that's causing SEXYZ for Win32 to crash. Let's get it fixed.
