We fixed important issues in the polling system since then, and a stalled
transfer really makes me think about these exact issues. The fact that it
happens always after the same time is not surprizing, it can simply be
caused by the growth of the TCP congestion window until it reaches the
point where the issue is triggered.

Please rebuild the latest snapshot for your distro and check if it fixes
the problem.
