It does not appear to be the exact same point in the file; IIRC it varies by
a couple MBs. I've tried it with Interarchy and a custom Rev-based FTP

At home, using cable: Bluehost succeeds, and Dreamhost succeeds
At the office, w/DSL: Bluehost fails, while Dreamhost succeeds
BH Tech Support tells me that they have no imposed limit on their end, but
given that I have no problem with DH I'm inclined to think there's something
funky with BH (well, something *else* funky, in addition to a long-standing
issue with server log configuration, but that's a whole other story).
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.
I'm using a Zip file. Haven't tried gzip, but I suppose I could if it
would make a difference.
BH Support suggested I try toggling from passive to active, but their
server won't accept active connections so that won't work.
It may be easier to just use my Dreamhost account for this, where it
works great all the time with files of any size and type.
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.
I'll look into that - thanks.
