Hello,
The code snippet I have a question about is this one: 
my $ssh2 = Net::SSH2->new();
$ssh2->connect($sourceServer) or die ("Unable to connect"); 
$ssh2->auth_keyboard('user', 'password') or die ("Unable to login"); 
$ssh2->scp_get($sourceFileName);
$ssh2->disconnect();

[download]
I am using Net::SSH2. The problem is that the scp_get call hangs indefinitely. I am trying to download a 15MB file. It seems it gets stuck after about 12-13MB. Interesting is that if I repeat the experiment, it seems to stop at the same file size, for a while, then it seems to stick to that new value for another while, and so on. Anyway, it doesn't make any progress past that point (not even a crash with or without an error message).

I have the similar scp_put call that uploads that file and that upload works like a charm every time. Not a single problem. On the flip side, the download call I pasted did not work even once. I'd appreciate some help to get past this problem, if anybody knows the way out.

Thanks,
Radu
