Hi,

I have been having connection stall issue when using Net::SFTP::Foreign to do SFTP to get an ~80mb xml file daily. I have searched for about two weeks now, and do not have a lot of leads. I've tried setting debug = -1, or setting verbose on -vvv and the latest I've tried is setting queue_size = 16. There's really no indication to why it stalls. It would transfer about 30mb, and then stop. No obvious msgs in the debug print either. And it doesn't stall every time, but I would say 70% of the time. (really at my wit's end)

These are the versions of things I have to work with, most out of my control but maybe I can ask for another Perl version bump (but I can't seem / don't know how / to find what's the latest version of Perl supported on Solaris 5.9)

OS Solaris 5.9
Perl 5.8.8
SFTP v 1.35 2005/10/05
Foreign 1.44

I need to solve this issue (obviously), but not sure how else I can proceed. I suppose I can always switch back to FTP but there will be future policies to restrict to SFTP only. Please help!
