uLE Freezes during large file transfers

[Coolsaber]

Ok, now that i've gotten the Host thing to work, i've run into a new problem. I'm trying to copy a divx file to the hd, then play it from SMS, but each time it gets to a certain point and just crashes and I have to hard-restart it.

When navigating to Host, and transferring it that way, it only copies about 12MB before it crashes, and when I use Ps2net, and FTP the file onto the hd, it gets about 120MB before it crashes.

The file is about 1.4GB.

Any ideas/ways to fix it? Thanks

Well, it could be due to some instability in the new network drivers (by EEUG, also the author of SMS), but judging by what you say below I doubt that's it. I do have an occasional glitch myself in the current version, but that glitching is not regular, like your problem.

When navigating to Host, and transferring it that way, it only copies about 12MB before it crashes,

That is abnormal and doesn't match my results at all. I regularly copy lots of files much larger than that to my HDD, using the host: device of uLE. (Which is what I use for ALL such transfers.)

Inability to transfer more than 12 MB indicates some serious networking problem. I suggest you check all the hardware involved, as well as your software setup at the PC end.

and when I use Ps2net, and FTP the file onto the hd, it gets about 120MB before it crashes.

That's also a bit odd, as I see no reason why a networking bug would be so protocol dependent (to a bug all TCP tansfers are the same), but I suppose differing packet sizes might affect the danger of some size dependent bug trashing packets. Though that still shouldn't crash the transfer completely.

The file is about 1.4GB.

That is a bit much, and if any bug really is present, then it will have plenty of time to strike in so long a transfer. But from your description it always happens very quickly, after only 12 MB or so, which is very odd.

Any ideas/ways to fix it? Thanks

Not yet, but I'll make some tests with huge file transfer myself to see if that triggers similar problems here.
