I'm working on it, and it's probably due to a combination of your ISP speed, DNS cache and route to RP servers and mainly my bad :). What happens is that the connections were not persistent contrary to what I thought and in your case and my case, the re-establishement is fast enough so that the "chunking" method works. In the case of Michael, the time is takes to re-establish the connection every times kills it. Still, the good news seems to be that the approach solves the issue, so I need to tweak it. So far, I've made the connections *really* persistent so that's fine but for some reason, the RP server don't seem to deliver on their commitments about how long the session persist, so it has to be re-opened much more often that I would like to. Does not matter for both of us, but might be really problematic for cases like Michael. Ideally, the chunk method would not be used if I could simply make it continuous and re-open it where it fails when it fails. But I don't know how to do that with LMS and the eventing system. Maybe somebody else could give me a hint how to do that reasonably easily. I think the main thing is to de-correlate the sysread of the protocol handler from the actual data read, so that we can re-establish the connection when it fails.
