I've the same problems and i fixed partially the problem by bumping the return ring count.
#define BGE_RETURN_RING_CNT 1024 -> #define BGE_RETURN_RING_CNT 2048 i dont think it is THE solution but it works better than before for me... ppn> We have a Dell poweredge 2650 (successor to 2550). ppn> We also saw the same problem with 4.5. I tried the current bge driver from 4.6 ppn> without success. The problem seems to be a size problem. When we ftp a small ppn> file, things work fine. However, when we try a 18 Megabyte file, the ftp ppn> hands and we see the problem descriped below. The linux system that came ppn> with the hardware (from dell) worked fine. ppn> BTW.
