I haven't been keeping up with the beginning of this thread at all so
I don't know what you are doing exactly (and don't have much time to
deal with it too much myself either). However, I'm guessing that
these are ftp transfers you are dealing with, right? That line you
are wondering about is part of the protocols system of talking to the
server. The error occurred because REBOL was expecting a response
from a command sent to the FTP server and did not get an answer.
Maybe the server closed the connection. Do you have a long timeout
set for the transaction? If so, the server may timeout before REBOL
does and close the connection on you causing REBOL to throw that
error.
