It would be nice if Retrospect behaved more like 56k modems, and
automatically downgraded performance until a reliable connection was
possible. Retrospect could go slower/safer but write a warning to the
log like:
"Recovering from 519 error, establishing lower performance connection"
That way Retrospect still works at full speed on a faultless network,
but degrades gracefully when there are subtle problems. I have always
managed to eventually find the cause of the problem Retrospect has
exposed, but it isn't always convenient to track down these subtle
problems right away, and it certainly hurts when Retrospect is
(apparently) the only application affected by a problem.
