I have had a similar problem (and still have) with specific hosts on the
'net, especially with an ssh open (rsync-over-ssh, scp, sftp) for bulk
transfers (but no problem in interactive sessions). The only solution I've
found for me was to use HTTP instead. This doesn't expose the problem (for me).

                    YMMV.
