I've done some research and it seems that vsftpd devolpers claim that this error, which i get a lot being I have mostly large downloads, is because of

Well I did some googling and found this, haven't tried it yet as I'm still busy offsite, but hopefully this will solve it, either way i'll let ya know. From: http://ftp.isu.edu.tw/pub/Unix/FTP/vsftpd/untar/vsftpd-1.2.2/FAQ Q) Help! I'm getting the error "426 Failure writing network stream." on downloads. A) You shouldn't see this with v1.2.1 or newer versions of vsftpd. Older versions of vsftpd can give this error if the user tries to download something from an unusual filesystem (e.g. FAT), which don't support performance features used by vsftpd. With vsftpd-1.1.3 and newer there is a confif workaround, use_sendfile=NO.

They have corrected this issue with versions 1.3.1 and above ((which still isn't the latest) and we still have 1.2.1)) I was wondering when suse would put this update in YaST so myself and i'm sure countless others could correct this issue without having to update manually.

Are you using windows or linux? Any responsible linux-user would prefer unix-style file systems which afaik are faster than any other proprietary redmond [tm] file-system. The usage of fat is an error. I never ever had any problems with vsftpd at all. I have big up- and downloads for fem data (engineering calculations for my diploma works ...) which are sometimes some gb big. I use ext3. The usage of filesystem xy is a question I will not answer, because this wil start several discussions and is offtopic to this. From a discussion with msc-software I got their benchmarks, that fem-calculations under linux and ext3 work 3x faster than on redmond-os (on reiserfs maybe more faster). Normally I use the source from the developers page and compile the daemon for my own.
