ok... think I found a bug for 1.5e
It turns out not to have anything to do with persistant connections being checked or not...
I upload at around 200-300 kbsec with my edu connection, and usually around 6,295,818 bytes sent, the connection will start to flounder... dropping to 0 kbsec upload, then kinda jumping back up until it finally just stops sending alltogether. (with persistant connections)
(without persistant connections)
it will just end up disconnecting the user after a while...
im running 1.5e on XPpro, and previous version 1.5 seemed to work just fine... right now I am gonna test out 1.5c
