Well, I could buy the timeout story if it happened somewhat later. The transfer is between two accounts on the same machine. It's almost instantaneous... If this is indeed a timeout issue and it manifests itself like this when both ends are on the same machine, I suspect it makes the package useless for use to transfer files between machines (home computer with dialup connection...? I'm sure there are plenty out there)... Well, just a thought..
I also got in touch with the module developer and he'll take a look once I provide him with more information he asked for.
