solarbirdit's not the RAM (passes memtest86), it's not the DRIVER (replaced with newer version), it's apparently not the CARD (replaced) - what the FUCK is making our transfers hang?
What's extra infuriating is the way that it's happening. Transfers go at high speed and then thunk to zero and never recover. Bit 0x20 in the checksum starts being inverted for the packet that is trying to be sent, and it never fixes no matter how many times its retried.
It may and may not be dependent upon data. It seems dependent upon host. (Most people can download this one test file one; one person can't, ever, and sees the abovementioned error. However, that person sees it from multiple hosts.)
It's infuriating, is what it is.
