Are you changing the default TCPKeepAlive setting? It defaults to yes. It
exists as options in sshd_ and ssh_config. Additionally, ClientAliveInterval
and ServerAliveInterval might be handy. A sysctl also exists to turn TCP keep
alive on for all connections by default.
Not sure it’ll help. Does your download crawl to a halt, then after a period
of time, you get the FIN?
(Note: I don’t have any Hetzner hosts and I’m just guessing based on my
experience with Azure)
