Hi Nick -

Sorry for the delay, but I'm not directly on call for the IETF anymore - the
lead system administrator is Steve Young <stevey at amsl.com> - and he's on
during the meeting's normal hours.  I'm just coming online now, so I'll 
help you from here.

I don't recall exactly what you're doing, but "rsyncd" on ietfa is configured
read-only, so I don't think using it to transfer recordings *to* ietfa would
be useful.

I also don't know where you're transferring *from* - but I'm given to
understand that there is significant packet loss occurring from Paris during
the meeting, and that could be a factor.

Perhaps if you could send me the command you're using to do the transfer, I
could have a look to see if it's sane.

Alternatively, if you want to stage your files somewhere, I could attempt to
do the transfer from your server to here, and see if that might work.

Let me know, and sorry for the confusion!

Glen
