Hi:
Have been using Avast FREE for well over a year or so, really like the product, but for the past few weeks I’ve had an odd behavior. Here’s my setup:
Small home server - XP SP3 - Avast 6.0.1000
Workstation - Vista 64-bit SP2 - Avast 6.0.1000
I use the home server pretty much as a file server, and have never had any issues with transferring files, but since about three weeks ago, I have issues tranferring medium-large files between the two machines, but with a few exceptions.
- While on the workstation, if I grab a file from the server and pull it to the workstation, no matter the size it transfers fine.
- While on the workstation, if I push a file to the server (over say 100mb), it starts a little, then stalls for about a minute, by which time I get a windows message asking if I want to retry. Retries fail.
One way I’ve been able to fix #2 is to disable Avast on the server. Then I can push files as large as I can find - successfully pushed an 8GB file. Toggling Avast back on then causes the push failure again.
Anyhow, I searched the forums and Google much of yesterday afternoon, but to no avail. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Justin
