router & port problems / Great! Automatic UPNP Port Forwarding in HFS 3! Thank You!

I was pleasantly surprised and pleased to discover that you have implemented automatic UPNP port forwarding in HFS 3! As someone who has spent countless hours in the past assisting people with forwarding router ports in order to host Ares chatrooms at home, I can appreciate how much easier this will make it for users to enjoy using HFS!

Thank you so much!

HFS ~ HTTP File Server / Re: HFS freezes on upload.

Thanks for your reply Danny. So you mean it might be freezing due to a setting to limit the speed and it's not doing that very well. Anyway, I then tried to do a 44 GB DOWNLOAD instead. It was a bunch of files, with mostly a vmx virtual machine file (98% of the total size) in fact. So I used the Archive function to get the whole folder. While this huge upload seemed successful at first, the resulting tar file was of the right size but corrupt and unrepairable. So I compressed the folder and divided the file into 4 GB chunks using rar and downloaded 6 files all at the same time. It went faster since it saturated the connection better and everything was fine.

I guess it's better not to rely on the Archive function if a huge file is involved.

I noticed the same thing today, I had the server running on a high-speed Xeon machine, 32 bit Windows 7, HFS 2.3m, and I was uploading a 7 GB single RAR file to it, from a remote computer, (over the internet) while the upload progressed at a decent pace (around 3 mB/s) the interface kept locking up and freezing and saying "not responding." It was annoying but it didn't really seem to affect the upload speed or continuity and the transfer was finished in 37 minutes...
