All,
The error Matt is mentioning is directly related to the file
access table updates that I mentioned in the previous version
release. Furthur writes data to a temp file, and sometimes tries to access
that data immediately after it's written. While most computers are fast
enough to get the FAT table updated in time, Furthur needs to make sure the
file system is ready before it reads the data. (Actually I'm not sure it's
totally processor dependant, I think it may have something to do with the
OS too.)
The current version has the fix for when Furthur tries to assemble
a completed file, but the 505 is the same error when Furthur tries to
forward received data on to another host. The new version (when released)
will perform the same check to insure the data is ready. You're probably
best off waiting for the new version if you're running into this problem,
but I only know of a couple folks who are.

P.S. Notice my correct spelling of "received". I actually developed this
system for over six months until it finally dawned on me that I had spelled
this word wrong everywhere. (Not just in the user interface, but in
hundreds of places in the code.) If anyone notices any more spelling or
grammer errors in the GUI, please let me know, as this would certaintly
qualify as a bug. (The kind of bug I like to fix.)
