  20. ISU has installed kermit 6.0  i am now having trouble downloading files.
  21. before they began using this version i had packet lengths set to 1500
  22. and they worked fine.  now with automatic packet-length optimization it
  23. seems to spend all of its time trying to "optimize" and very little of
  24. its time downloading.  it switches packet lengths settings every few
  25. seconds and does not seem to download while doing these switches. the
  26. people i have asked about this suggested to set packet length lower and
  27. set window to 3 and block to 3.  and to just start experimenting with
  28. these settings.  no matter WHAT i set packet length to, i still have the
  29. same problem.  it endlessly switches and hardly downloads. i have tried
  30. enough combinations of settings that i am convinced this will not help.
  31. is there a way to turn off the auto packet length optimization?
