In all fairness, you have no control over most of the internet. :-)
Including just about all the hops when you are using a Multinet tunnel 
as well.

A valid point. That said, I've noticed that the link to LEHATO isn't 
exactly what I'd call stable. Want to move over to TCP? I suspect it's a 
simple case of the occasional packet being dropped, and Multinet links 
over UDP just do not deal will with that situation. Meaning, at the 
moment, the link between MIM and LEGATO is probably a bit sucky, and if 
someone decided to try transferring a larger file over it, chances are 
that it will fail repeatedly.
