While transfering a DVD iso image of size 2.6 Gb over the network using fish, the file transfer window halted at 2Gb.

The transfer was from a firewire external HD mounted via 'storage media applet' (filesystem vfat) to a remove debian testing server running ssh (filesystem ext3).

Access to the remote computer was done using fish://user@server-ip. Transfer of data was by drag & drop.

My system is a laptop running kubuntu hoary  with 512 Megs of ram and 6Gb disk free.

This is the external FW drive data from dmesg:
