I don't fully understand what's happening. Are there three machines  
involved -- your  server, your notebook, and your desktop? What  
operation are you doing -- an upload? Which machine is the web  
gateway (== storage client) running on when it does this upload?

More information needed! Could you please reproduce this problem and  
post the timing report (from the "Recent Uploads and Downloads" page)  
of an upload that is stalled? Also, quantify "stalled".

Thanks!
