Can you run a packet trace during every transfer until you've traced a
failure?  It sure sounds like you might have a bug in the the client or
server or TCP/IP stack, and it's a good bet that the bug makes itself
felt during exceptional conditions - retransmissions, duplicate ACKs,
etc.  The file would not be corrupted unless you ran into one of those
exceptional conditions.

I don't know of any way to trap this except to have the packet trace of
each transmission.
