problem copying large file
Thanks for your help. I managed to find info in some logs files i found.

In a file called confile a message appears saying " Warning ethernet unit 0 has a transceiver problem".

In a file called kurld.log it says UNITSEL failed on /dev/i596, BAD kurl received message flags = 1 ctl_len=14 data_len = -1
08 00 0b 06 14 ad cd ab ff ff ff ....

I am not an expert in this field but i get the feeling that all the problems could be due to a bad network card that has intermittant problems. I have no problems logging onto the server through the network but it could be that when i send a large file the network card cannot cope, does this sound possible ? Do you know what the KURL is in Unix terms?

Thanks

randomsound

RANDOMSOUND(8)						      System Manager's Manual						    RANDOMSOUND(8)

NAME

       randomsound - ALSA sound card related entropy gathering daemon.

SYNOPSIS

       randomsound [options]

DESCRIPTION

       Using  the  low	order bit of the ADC output of your sound card, randomsound gathers entropy, debiases it and offers it up to your kernel's
       random pool. It can be tweaked to only write into the pool when it drops below a certain level, and to back  off  once  the  pool  is  full
       enough.	This build will set your sound card into 16 bit mono unsigned input at 8KHz.  If your sound card cannot do that then you will need
       to change the defines in asoundrunner.c and recompile the package. You must have set up asound as root on your machine. This  can  be  done
       with the asoundconf tool and its set-default-card command.

       You  may  also need to use the alsamixer to ensure that the sound card is generating plenty of noise. Set all the gains nice and high, turn
       on any boosters you have. If you have a V_REFLVL or similar then consider tweaking that.

OPTIONS

       -D     Daemonize

       -v     Increase verbosity. Can be used more than once.

       -m     specify minimum number of bits of entropy in the pool.

       -M     specify max number of bits in the pool.

       -b     specify number of bytes of randomness to buffer for use.

       -d     specify number of bytes to deposit into the pool each time.

       -h     display help message

       -V     display version information.
