Have you tried it with a 25mb file that is gzipped? Or how about one that is just 25mb of say 1 char? I'm suggesting this in case there is some funky combo in your file that is causing the server to hiccup. If a binary file like gzip or an ascii file of letter A cannot get through, then it does point to their server/firewall/router config. Alas, something of which you have no control. Here's another suggestion. Why not use something like curl or wget to transfer the same file using one of the 'continue' options? Curl has a 'continue' option that works with PUT, so I'm guessing you can use that to continue an upload that did not work. I've used this kind of feature with large downloads in case they fail half-way. Curl works very well with open process in Rev, so you could use that behind the scenes in your app, provided of course there is not some other funky reason why you need to use Rev's socket-level features. I guess if you are talking to a FTP server using your own app, you might be able to build in your own 'continue' feature. There must be a command that curl sends to the server to find out the byte to continue the file from, and a command that tells the server to append the data to the existing file rather than overwrite it. Hope that helps.
