I didn't have a problem with my Pentium III/1ghz for the longest time
either. Then at some point, I tried transferring a larger package to my
Newt, and it kept hanging. I tried slowdown.exe and it worked. Then over
time I started noticing that more and more transfers would fail until I
ended up just using slowdown all the time. I doubt it was the large package,
but maybe it just started getting finicky.
