Applied and briefly tested.  After throwing "Error reading from socket" 
message to log, resumes uneventfully.  I'll post back if any problems 
arise.

In the back of my mind I'm wondering if this is a server problem.  I'd 
noticed a lot of multi-part binaries freezing around the 95-97% 
completion point.

Adelphia uses Twister v1.2.0 and depending on which server I connect to 
it's anywhere from 13-16 hops, which I suppose means it could be a 
router problem as well, though not likely gauging by the amount of time 
the trace takes.

Thanks,
