that makes sense...

btw, it would be informative if you could describe better
what is happening with file transfers under windows.
Are they totally blocked (no bytes transmitted at all),
or are they extremely slow, but still existing?

I can try to do TCP transfers relatively quiclky,
if that is what prevents you from using circle...

However, as I already mentioned, I do not use Windows,
so I cannot ensure that your bug will be fixed. If you want
to be sure that it works for you, the best thing to do is to
give me a help at writing this... :-)
